Water pollution is a global concern. Inorganic and
organic pollutants constitute primary pollutants in water resources. Therefore,
it is of great concern to develop advanced sorbent materials for effective and
efficient removal of metals and oil from water. In this study, synthesis of new LDH composites which
would be used for sorption of heavy metals and oils from polluted water. For
this purpose, MgAlOH- ɣ-Fe2O3-MoS2 composite
was prepared and characterized were made via FT-IR and XRD. The XRD powder pattern of the composite showed that it
contained g-Fe2O3 (PDF card
no:00-002-1047), MgAl(OH)14.XH2O (PDF card no:00-043-0072) and MoS2
(PDF card no:00-037-4492). Thermal stability of the composite was investigated
via DTA/TG technique. MgAlOH-ɣ-Fe2O3-MoS2
composite was shows highly efficient sorption for vegetable oil up to 418%
times its own weight. The ablity of MgAlOH- ɣ-Fe2O3-MoS2
composite for removing Pb2+ ions from aqueous solution. Pb2+
analysis was made by ICP-OES. The effect of Pb2+ amounts, PH, sorbent
amounts and solvent flow rate on the adsorption capacity of MgAlOH-
ɣ-Fe2O3-MoS2
composite were also ivestigated.
