title: Sorption study of an acid dye from an aqueous solution on modified Mg-Al layered double hydroxides.
abstract: In this paper, experimental methods and results are reported on the removal of the dye Green Bezanyl-F2B (an acid dye) from MgAlCO(3) (HT) and from intercalated anionic surfactant, "sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)", into the Mg-Al layered double hydroxides by the calcination-rehydration reaction using Mg-Al oxide precursors calcined at 773 K. Dodecylsulfate hydrotalcite was prepared by the calcination-rehydration method. The surfactant intercalation in the interlayer space of hydrotalcite was investigated by XRD and FT-IR spectroscopy where the resulting materials were found to be similar to those reported in the literature and were used to remove an acid dye from an aqueous solution. Equilibrium time and rate-determining step of the dye Green Bezanyl-F2B sorption were determined. Two simplified kinetic models were tested to investigate the sorption. The adsorption capacity data were also fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich equation as well. The sorption data fitted to the Langmuir model gave good values of the determination coefficient.
