Abstract:In this study, ternary LDHs (MgZnAl-LDHs) and quaternary LDHs(MgZnAlFe-LDHs) adsorbents were prepared by hydrothermal method in order to study the adsorption performance and mechanism of phosphate on multi-layered hydroxides(LDHs). The polyhydrotalcite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. The adsorption behavior of MgZnAl-LDHs and MgZnAlFe-LDHs on phosphate was fitted by adsorption isotherm model and adsorption kinetics model, and the adsorption mechanism was also analyzed. Box-Behnken response surface analysis(BBD) was used to establish a model of the effects of pH, temperature and initial mass concentration on the phosphate equilibrium adsorption capacity, then the adsorption conditions were optimized. The results show that the adsorption effect of MgZnAlFe-LDHs towards phosphate was better than that of MgZnAl-LDHs. The adsorption of MgZnAl-LDHs and MgZnAlFe-LDHs on phosphate accorded with the Sips isothermal adsorption model, the quasi-second-order kinetics and Elovich kinetics. The response surface results showed that the regression model established by Box-Behnken response surface analysis method was significant(P<0.05), and the loss of fit term was not obvious. The response value of higher than 99.62% could be explained by the model. Under the optimal adsorption conditions, the equilibrium adsorption capacity was 104.18 mg·g?1, which was basically consistent with the predicted value of 105.23 mg·g?1. The regression model could predict the equilibrium adsorption capacity well. This study provides a reference for the application of multiple LDHs in phosphate removal. Key words:multi-LDHs/ phosphate/ adsorption/ response surface method.
