The aim of this work is the study of Congo Red removal from water by adsorption onto Zn4Al-CO3 type layered double hydroxide prepared from zinc ash. The preparation consist in dissolution of zinc ash with hydrochloric acid followed by synthesis of LDH by co-precipitation of zinc chloride with aluminum salt in alkaline media. The prepared LDH and the calcined product were utilized as adsorbents of azo dye Congo Red from water. Despite that the materials were prepared from a waste, their performances as adsorbents a...

Palladium is one of the precious metals which have great economic importance. It is used in many fields such as electrical and electronic industries, corrosion resistant materials, and jewelry due to their specific physical and chemical properties, catalysts in various chemical processes. Due to its importance and high price, it is essential to develop efficient recovery methods for this element especially from water containing trace amount of Pd. Therefore in this work we report studies regarding the removal of P...
