Unique Adsorption Properties of Malachite Green on Interlayer Space of Cu-Al and Cu-Al-SiW12O40 Layered Double Hydroxides

Abstract

Cu-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was intercalated with Keggin ion of polyoxometalate K4[a-SiW12O40] to form Cu-Al-SiW12O40 LDH. The obtained materials were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Brunaur-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. Furthermore, the materials were used as adsorbents of malachite green from aqueous solution. Some variables for adsorption, such as: effect of adsorption times, malachite green concentration, and also adsorption temperature, were explored. The results showed that diffraction at 11.72° on Cu-Al LDH has interlayer distance of 7.56 Å. The intercalation of that LDH with [a-SiW12O40]4− ion resulted increasing interlayer distance to 12.10 Å. The surface area of material was also increased after intercalation from 46.2 m2/g to 89.02 m2/g. The adsorption of malachite green on Cu-Al and Cu-Al-SiW12O40 LDHs followed pseudo second order kinetic and isotherm Langmuir model with adsorption capacity of Cu-Al and Cu-Al-SiW12O40 LDHs was 55.866 mg/g and 149.253 mg/g, respectively. That adsorption capacity is equal with increasing interlayer space and surface area properties of material after intercalation. Thus, the adsorption of malachite green on Cu-Al and Cu-Al-SiW12O40 LDHs is unique and dominantly occurred on interlayer space of LDH as active site adsorption. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group.

The Capability of Biochar-Based CaAl and MgAl Composite Materials as Adsorbent for Removal Cr(VI) in Aqueous Solution

“…The determination of the adsorption isotherm model according to Palapa et al (2020a) is based on a linear regression value that is closer to 1. Overall CaAl, MgAl, Biochar, CaAl-Biochar, and MgAl-Biochar more likely to follow the Langmuir isotherm model because it has a linear regression value that is closer to 1.…”

“…4. There are no charges of materials at the The adsorption of iron(II) was studied firstly through the effect of adsorption time, as shown in The data of adsorption time was calculated using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order [31] in Eqs. 1 and 2 to obtain the kinetic adsorption model, as shown in Table 2.…”

High Reusability of NiAl LDH/Biochar Composite in the Removal Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution

“…These dyes are toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, thus cause human and environmental health. The dyes are produced from industrial activities such as cosmetics, painting, textile, leather, food, and also drug industries [2][3][4]. The dyes are challenging to degrade since they are stable structures under oxidation and light [5].…”
