“…Mg-Al, Zn-Al, Cu-Al, and Mg-Fe LDHs intercalated with EDTA could uptake metal ions, such as Cu 2+ , Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Cs + , Sr 2+ , Sc 3+ , Y 3+ , and La 3+ ions, in the cationic form from aqueous solutions. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] EDTA is one of the aminocarboxylic acids used as a chelating ligand for metal ions. Other aminocarboxylic acids are iminodiacetic acid (IDA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and triethylenetetramine-hexaacetic acid (TTHA).…”
