Abstract

Mg-Al layered double hydroxides with a hydrotalcite structure have been synthesized. The sorption properties of the synthesized sample with respect to non-ferrous metal ions — Co2+, Cu2+, Sr2+ and Cs+ are investigated. The capacities of the adsorption monolayer of the Mg-Al layered hydroxide sample were calculated, amounting to 2.13, 2.21, 1.88 and 3.48 mmol/g with respect to Co(II), Cu(II), Sr(II) and Cs(I) ions, respectively. It is shown that the sorption process is described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and proceeds in a mixed diffusion mode.
