This study investigates the removal of ferrocyanide ions ([Fe(CN)6]4-) from aqueous solutions using MgAl layered double (hydro)oxides(MgAl-LDH) and their roasting products (MgAl-LDO).MgAl-LDH with different concentrations of CO2-3 and Cl- intercalates were synthesized by co-precipitation, and various MgAl-LDO were prepared by roasting. The adsorption performance of LDH and LDO for [Fe(CN)6]4-was explored.The results show that LDH exhibits a rapid adsorption rate,achieving equilibrium within 20 min. LDO has a higher adsorption capacity,reaching a maximum of 234.4 mg/g.The adsorption is effective at pH values between 7 and 12.The adsorbent also demonstrates selective adsorption of [Fe(CN)6]4-in solutions containing high concentrations of SO2-4 and SCN-.Mechanism analysis indicates that in LDH intercalated anions,only Cl- can exchange with [Fe(CN)6]4-,leading to adsorption and forming Al[FeMg(CN)6].The adsorption of [Fe(CN)6]4-by LDO is attributed to its memory effect with higher CO2-3 content in LDH layers corresponding to greater adsorption capacity of LDO.
