This paper introduces the potential of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as materials for heavy metal treatment, including potential environmental toxic effects, feasibility, and stability. It also summarizes the preparation strategies and applications of LDHs, and discusses the main treatment mechanisms. The paper also explores the ratio adjustment and reuse of waste liquid in LDHs synthesis. However, most existing research focuses on improving absorption capacity, neglecting toxicity effects and detailed mechanism investigations.
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are ionic laminar composites composed of positively charged brucite-like layers with an interlayered region containing charged compensating anions and solvation molecules. Such functional LDHs materials present a strong potential for heavy metal treatment especially for wastewater and soil, due to the large surface area and layered structure. This paper started with the background of techniques for heavy metals treatment and then discussed the potential environmental toxic effects, feasibility, stability of LDH composites. The preparation strategies of LDHs composites, and their application were summarized, followed by main mechanisms involving chelation, complexation, surface precipitation, ion exchange. This work also presented the potential environmental toxic effects, feasibility, stability of LDHs composites, reuse of waste liquid and the ratio adjustment of M2+ and N3+ for LDHs synthesis. While most efforts focused on improving the absorption capacity of LDHs by composites construction, ignoring the toxicity effects and detailed mechanism investigation. Based on a thorough review of the latest development, the challenges and perspectives would be proposed, offering promising insights on environmental purification via LDHs based materials.
