Layered double hydroxides from aluminum saline slags applied in adsorption and photocatalysis processes for the removal of emerging pollutants

The objective of the work studied here was to synthesize Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) with aluminum extracted from saline slags and test their function once calcined into adsorbents/catalysts for use in the removal of emerging contaminants (pharmaceutical compounds) from aqueous media.Two differe...

Descrição
Resumo:The objective of the work studied here was to synthesize Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) with aluminum extracted from saline slags and test their function once calcined into adsorbents/catalysts for use in the removal of emerging contaminants (pharmaceutical compounds) from aqueous media.Two different techniques for the removal of contaminants were tested, adsorption and photocatalysis. In the present work, a new procedure for the recovery of aluminum present in saline slags generated during the secondary recycling processes of aluminum as adsorbent/photocatalyst of diclofenac and salicylic acid, as examples of emerging contaminants, has been reported. Results obtained have been extensively analyzed throughout the present study.
