In this work there was studied the structural, textural and effect that has treat thermal on the removal of Cr (VI) of nanoMg/Al hydrotalcite (NHT) synthesized by the sol-gel method with a ratio of Mg/Al=3. These present the characterization of the nanoMg/Al hydrotalcite before and after Cr (VI) removal, as well as the kinetic studies and of balance. In agreement with the results, when the NHT are thermal treated to 350 °C the hydrotalcite crystalline structure remains but the textural properties are improved and structural. The NHT synthesized by the sol-gel method present a good capacity of removal with values of 91 mg of Cr (VI) removed / g of NHT. The above mentioned capacity of removal gets improved after thermal treating the material, reaching values of removal of 124 mg of Cr (VI) removed / g of NHT. The NHT with the Cr (VI) absorbed show decrease of the crystalline structure, as well as a saturation of the pores that annuls the porosity due to the fact that the Cr (VI) lodges both at the pores and at the intersheets. The time that him takes the HLM to remove the Cr (VI) of the watery solution is alone of 2 minutes, with which it is possible to conclude that the NHT have an excellent aptitude to remove Cr (VI) of watery solutions in an interval of very short time.
Aluminum lithium hydroxide carbonate hydrate, also known as Al-Li double hydroxide or Al-Li hydrotalcite-like compound [Al 2 Li(OH) 6 ] 2 CO 3 •nH 2 O, was prepared from basic aluminum sulfate. This compound was prepared by precipitation in homogeneous solution of an aluminum bisulfite solution. A sodium aluminate aqueous solution was prepared by dissolving basic aluminum sulfate in 1M sodium hydroxide. The Al-Li double hydroxide was obtained after addition of lithium carbonate satured solution to the sodium aluminate solution, at 60 °C. The synthesized powder was characterized by thermal analysis (TG, DTG and DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By this method crystalline Li-Al hydrotalcite like compound with composition near to Al 4 Li 2 (OH) 12 CO 3 •3H 2 O was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
