Nanostructured layered double hydroxide (NLDH) - Zn/Al-based materials: strategy to improve performance for zirconium sorption from acidic sulfate solution.

ABSTRACT: Zirconium is a highly stable radionuclide commonly used in various nuclear operations. However, removing zirconium from wastewater streams is crucial to protect the environment and human health. To achieve this, a zinc and aluminum nanostructured layered double hydroxide (Zn/Al-NLDH) was prepared and investigated for effective removal of zirconium from aqueous solutions. This study examined the prepared Zn/Al-NLDH's structural and textural properties and the impact of various factors on its adsorption performance. The Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo-second order kinetic models were found to be the best fit for the adsorption process of Zr(vi). This suggests that the adsorption process is uniform, involves the formation of a monolayer, and is chemisorption in nature. The maximum uptake capacit
