The Utilization of Mg-Al/Cu as Selective Adsorbent for Cationic Synthetic Dyes

Mg-Al-LDH is a chemical compound produced through co-precipitation technique and modified with Cu(NO3)2.6H2O to form Mg-Al/Cu. However, the research on capability of these compounds for adsorbing mixtures cationic dyes as well malachite green (MG), methylene blue (MB), Rodhamine-B (Rh-B) has not been carried out. Therefore, this aims determine performance Mg-Al/Cu removing dyes. The materials used were characterized by using XRD powder, FT-IR, N2 adsorption desorption. Adsorption process was conducted batch system several effects investigated, such kinetic parameter, isotherm, temperature condition. stability feature obtained from regeneration in five cycles. results presented that effectively produced, which indicated formation layer at 10.792° (003), 22.94° (006), 35.53° (112), 55.78° (110), 56.59° (116). found adsorbed MG than other capacity 68.996 mg/g 104.167 mg/g, respectively. unique properties includes, structural towards reuse adsorbent subsequently times, without significant decrease capacity.
