Controllable Synthesis of Ca-Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxides and Calcined Layered Double Oxides for the Efficient Removal of U(VI) from Wastewater Solutions

Novel rod-like ternary nanoscale layered double hydroxides (Ca-Mg-Al-LDH) and their bimetal derivatives (Ca-Mg-Al-LDOx, x: 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 °C) were fabricated with a simple-green hydrothermal and calicination process. The interaction mechanism and adsorption property of U(VI) on Ca-Mg-Al-LDH and Ca-Mg-Al-LDOx were investigated by a batch technique and spectroscopy analysis, and the results indicated that U(VI) could form strong and...
