The ability of MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their calcined products to adsorb the water contaminants 2 4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and 2-methyl-4 6-dinitrophenol (DNOC) was assessed Adsorption tests were conducted on LDHs with variable Mg/Al ratios (and variable layer charge) pH values contact times and initial pesticide concentrations to identify the optimum conditions for the intended purpose Adsorbents and adsorption products were characterized by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy as well as atomic absorption spectroscopy and thermal analyses The amounts of pesticides removed from water were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry All adsorbents except the carbonate-containing hydrotalcite possessed a very high adsorption capacity for both contaminants (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
