Preparation of Mg-Al hydrotalcite and its adsorption effect on fluoride ions in water
This article prepared Mg-Al hydrotalcite through coprecipitation method,and studied the effect of magnesium aluminum molar ratio on the lattice structure,microstructure and spectral properties of Mg-Al hydrotalcite.Using NaF solution as a simulated fluorine-containing wastewater,the adsorption capacity and re-moval rate of Mg-Al hydrotalcite on fluoride ions in water were tested.The corresponding adsorption process and mechanism were studied through adsorption models.The research results indicate that the appearance of Mg-Al hydrotalcite is a layered structure,with interlaminar stacking between layers.As the magnesium alumi-num ratio increases,the interlayer spacing of Mg-Al hydrotalcite increases.The saturated adsorption capacity and removal rate of fluoride ions by hydrotalcite show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the in-crease of magnesium aluminum ratio.The adsorption capacity approaches saturation at 80 minutes,and the sat-urated adsorption capacity of 3Mg-Al hydrotalcite reaches the maximum value of 43.16 mg/g.The removal rate reaches the maximum value of 90.5%at 120 min.After 5 cycles of adsorption regeneration,the removal rate of fluoride ions by 3Mg-Al LDH decreased to 69.4%,and the retention rate reached 76.69%,demonstrating good reusability.By fitting the adsorption data of fluoride ions by hydrotalcite,it is shown that the adsorption process of fluoride ions by Mg-Al hydrotalcite is more consistent with the quasi-second-order kinetic model,which is mainly based on chemisorption.
