Abstract

Using magnesium nitrate, nickel nitrate and aluminum nitrate as raw materials and urea as precipitant, magnesium nickel aluminum ternary hydrotalcites with large specific surface area were prepared by hydrothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by SEM、XRD、BET and EDS etc., respectively. The adsorption properties of MgNiAl-LDHs, MgAl-LDHs and their calcined products (MgNiAl-LDOs, MgAl-LDOs) for chloride ions in solution were investigated. The results show that MgNiAl-LDHs are cubic with rod-like structure, with a specific surface area of 197.62 m2/g, which is much larger than that of MgAl-LDHs (102.82 m2/g). Under the same adsorption conditions, the saturated adsorption capacities of MgNiAl-LDHs and MgAl-LDHs for chloride ions are 130.06mg/g and 110.02 mg/g respectively. MgNiAl-LDOs showed better adsorption ability for chloride ions. By simulating the adsorption data, the results show that the adsorption kinetics and the adsorption isotherm are in accordance with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively.
