Popis: | Batch sorption studies were conducted to investigate the potential of [Zn–Al–Cl] layered double hydroxides (LDHs) for the removal of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) from contaminated aqueous solutions. Experiments were performed at different pH values, initial pesticide concentration, solid/pesticide ratio and anion exchange capacity of LDHs. The LDH samples evaluated had very high retention capacity for 2,4-D whose removal was a rapid process, as a quasi-equilibrium state was reached after 1-h reaction time. The adsorption can be described by Langmuir-type isotherms, with an average affinity constant of 12.5 L mmol−1. At initial 2,4-D concentrations between 0.08 and 4 mmol L−1, the solids removed up to 98% of the pesticide. Physicochemical characterization of the LDH solids, both fresh and after removal of 2,4-D, by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry, indicates that the retention of 2,4-D is done by adsorption on the surface of the solid for low 2,4-D concentrations. However, a combination of surface adsorption and interlayer ion exchange takes place when the 2,4-D concentration is high. |
