Improving the selectivity of photocatalysis of LDH pristine (MgAl-LDH) and LDH composite (MgAl-SiW 12 O 40 ] and MgAl-[PW 12 O 40 ]) was synthesized and used for degraded malachite green (MG). The effects of the amount of catalyst, pH value, and reaction times on degradation performance were discussed. MG degraded better composites than LDH pristine. The results indicated that MgAl-LDH was successfully synthesized by showing the peak diffractions at angles 10.39°(003), 20.17°(006), and 34.8°(009). Both kinds of attained MgAl-[SiW 12 O 40 ] and MgAl-[PW 12 O 40 ] had the typical structure of LDH that proved by appeared diffraction at 2θ angles 7.73°, 28.6°, 35.6° for MgAl-[PW 12 O 40 ] and at 2θ angles 8.61°, 24.27°, 34.96° and 66.34° for MgAl-[SiW 12 O 40 ]. The FTIR result indicates materials used for fifth regeneration, which confirmed the LDH composite structure. The fotodegradation activity of MG for pristine MgAl LDH (56.1%), composites MgAl-Pw (84.6%) and MgAl-Si (87.8%), respectively. The successful ability of photodegradation process by the percentage of degradation on material LDH-polyoxometalate composite showed the increasing of photodegradation catalytic and the regeneration ability of LDH pristine.

The synthesis and characterization of layered double hydroxide (LDH) and intercalated polyoxometalate were presented.. The growth of polyoxometalate on Ni/Mg layered double hydroxide for degradation procion red (PR) was reported. The degradation parameters and organic dye removal efficiency of Zn/Mg-LDH and both composite LDHpolyoxometalate were determined by considering factors such as pH of dye solution, catalyst dosage, and time as variables of degradation. X-Ray, FTIR, and SEM spectroscopy confirmed the layered double hydroxide structure. XRD and FTIR analysis confirmed the single-phase of the as-made and polyoxometalate intercalated LDH. SEM images show the formation of aggregates of small various sizes. The catalytic activity of the material was evaluated in the degradation of PR as a model pollutant. The result showed that MgAl-SiW 12 O 40 has a good degradation capacity for PR as compared to MgAl-PW 12 O 40 , ZnAl-SiW 12 O 40 , and ZnAl-PW 12 O 40 . The result shows that the LDH composite presents stability and has good photocatalytic activities toward the reduction of methylene blue. The materials utilized for the fifth regeneration are indicated by the FTIR results, which verified the LDH composite structure. The photodegradation process of procion red for immaculate ZnAl-LDH, MgAl-LDH, ZnAl-[PW 12 O 40 ], ZnAl-[SiW 12 O 40 ], MgAl-[PW 12 O 40 ], MgAl-[SiW 12O 40 ] amounted to 68%, 70%, 56%, 79%, 74%, and 80%, respectively. The capacity of LDH-polyoxometalate composite material to successfully photodegrade, as measured by the percentage of degradation, revealed an increase in photodegradation catalysis and the ability of LDH to regenerate.
