Abstract

The adsorption capability of Ni/Al LDH modified with gambier leaf extract was evaluated for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB), Malachite Green (MG), and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes from aqueous solutions. UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis revealed that Ni/Al-Gambier Leaf Extract exhibited a higher efficiency in cationic dye removal compared to unmodified Ni/Al LDH. The removal percentages of RhB, MG, and MB using unmodified Ni/Al LDH were 6.00%, 40.05%, and 14.73%, respectively. However, after modification with Gambier Leaf Extract, these values significantly improved to 25.62%, 39.48%, and 31.06%, respectively. This enhancement was attributed to the polyphenolic functional groups present in the gambier leaf extract, which strengthened electrostatic interactions and promoted dye adsorption. These findings indicate that incorporating gambier leaf extract into Ni/Al LDH enhances its adsorption performance, making it a promising material for improving dye removal in wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Dissolved ferrous ions in water pose significant environmental and operational challenges, necessitating efficient and sustainable removal technologies. In this study, a hybrid adsorbent was developed by integrating Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) with hydrochar derived fromrambutan peel (Nephelium lappaceum L.) via coprecipitation. Characterization confirmed successful composite formation with a substantial increase in specific surface area from 9.621 m2.g-1 for pristine Zn-Al LDH to 52.964 m2.g-1 for the composite, accompanied by enlarged pore volume and enriched oxygen-containing functional groups. Batch adsorption experiments showed strong pH dependence, with optimal Fe(II) removal at pH 6 and equilibrium reached within 120 min. The Zn-Al LDH@NL-HC composite exhibited a markedly higher adsorption capacity (51.501 mg.g-1) compared with Zn-Al LDH (15.692 mg.g-1) and hydrochar alone (8.594 mg.g-1), indicating a significant synergistic effect. Isotherm analysis revealed a maximum adsorption capacity of 76.336 mg.g-1 at elevated temperature, while kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption-dominated uptake. Thermodynamic parameters indicated an endothermic and spontaneous process. Regeneration studies demonstrated excellent stability, with adsorption efficiency maintained at 79.48% after five cycles. The superior performance is attributed to combined mechanisms including electrostatic attraction, surface complexation with oxygen-rich groups, ion exchange within LDH interlayers, and diffusion into mesoporous structures. These findings demonstrate the effective valorization of agricultural waste into a high-performance and reusable adsorbent for Fe(II) remediation in aqueous systems.

Abstract

In this study, a Ni/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) coupled with Spirulina-derived hydrochar was successfully synthesizedvia a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation.The incorporation of hydrochar significantly modified the structural, surface, and optical properties of Ni/Al-LDH, resultingin enhanced photocatalytic performance. Characterization results confirmed the successful formation of the compositewith improved surface area and extended light absorption. Photodegradation experiments revealed that the Ni/Al-Spirulinacomposite exhibited superior performance compared to pristine Ni/Al-LDH, achieving higher degradation efficiency undervarious conditions. The enhanced activity was influenced by operational parameters such as pH, catalyst dosage, and initial dyeconcentration, with optimal performance observed under near-neutral conditions. The improved performance is attributed tothe synergistic effect between adsorption and photocatalysis, where hydrochar facilitates charge separation and promotes thegeneration of reactive oxygen species. Overall, this study demonstrates an effective strategy for developing biomass-based LDHcomposites as efficient and sustainable photocatalysts for wastewater treatment
