Popis: In this study, waste rock of iron ore mine (metasomatic rocks) has been modified and utilized as a sulfate adsorbent to enhance sulfate removal from contaminated aqueous solution. The modification generating from the assembly of Mg–Al and Ni–Al layered double hydroxides and metasomatic rocks. The sulfate adsorption onto both adsorbents was performed favorably as a monolayer adsorption in homogeneous condition. The kinetic studies identify the chemisorption mechanism of sulfate adsorption process onto both adsorbents with the combination of the film-mass transfer and internal diffusion. Thermodynamic studies indicate that sulfate adsorption process onto both adsorbents was exothermic and spontaneous.
