Abstract

Calcined anionic clay based on zinc and aluminum was used to remove the pollutant CrO42- from wastewater. This adsorbent material derived from layered double hydroxide (LDH) was chosen for its higher adsorption capacity, its affinity for most pollutants, and its non-toxicity. The kinetic study suggesting a high affinity between the pollutant and calcined LDH (CLDH). The pollutant is retained in multilayer and follows the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic study indicates a physical interaction. The elimination reaches 100% with a retention capacity of 3333 mg/g. After cycles of regeneration and in comparison with other adsorbents, CLDH has proven its efficiency and high performances to remove CrO42- anions.
