Transformation of Mytella falcata residual shell into CaAl/LDH adsorbent: removal of methyl orange and methylene blue dyes

Description
Summary:This study analyzed the viability of using malacoculture residue (Mytella falcata) to produce layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and for its subsequent use as an adsorbent. The CaAl/LDH-RE material was produced with calcium oxide from the residue and the CaAl/LDH-AP was produced with a commercial reagent. Both were used to remove methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) dyes. The CaAl/LDH-RE presented a surface area of 28.54 m2 g−1, being 65.62% larger than the CaAl/LDH-AP material (17.23 m2 g−1). The adsorbents showed mesopores distributed on a surface formed by plates in the form of hexagonal sheets arranged in an overlapping manner. The dosage of 0.05 g L−1 obtained the removal of 95% and 97% for MO, while for MB it was 94% and 93% using the adsorbents LDH/CaAl-AP and LDH/CaAl-RE, respectively. The system reached equilibrium at 90 min for MO and 120 min for MB. The pseudo-second order model well represented the kinetic data reaching 11.36 mg g−1 (CaAl/LDH-RE) and 8.42 mg g−1 (CaAl/LDH-AP) for MO, and 4.47 mg g−1 (CaAl/LDH-RE) and 4.14 mg g−1 (CaAl/LDH-AP) for MB. The Freundlich model better represented the isothermal data, where the temperature exerted little influence. Adsorbents showed similar removal percentages in real and synthetic matrices. The LDH/CaAl-RE can be applied in up to 3 cycles, maintaining its adsorption capacity. These results corroborate the use of MFW to produce CaAl/LDH-RE, which can be used for the efficient removal of organic pollutants in an aqueous solution.
