We synthesized CaAl-Cl layered double hydroxide (CaAl-LDH) by co-precipitation and evaluated its performance in phosphate adsorption. Calcium fluoride (0.25 mol) and sodium meta-aluminate (0.1 mol) were poured into a beaker that contained 0.2 mol sodium hydroxide. The suspension was aged at 25 ℃ for 4 h under vigorous stirring. The acquired sludge was filtered and washed using distilled water, dried at 60 ℃, and then ground to powder for further study. Phosphate stock solution was prepared using sodium di-hydrogen phosphate, and used for adsorption kinetic and isotherm research. The impact factors (e.g., competitive anions, adsorbent dosage, and adsorption time) of phosphate removal by CaAl-LDH were researched using industrial effluents. Adsorption processes were studied in 50 mL centrifuge tubes, with shaking by a thermostatic oscillator for planned time intervals. Mixtures were filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane before analysis. Samples before and after phosphate adsorption were characterized by scanning electron microscopy to observe morphological characteristics. Thermo-gravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry was used to study the sample thermo-stability. Metal ions (e.g. calcium, aluminum) and phosphate concentration were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. We observed a typical hydrotalcite structure in the CaAl-LDH by scanning electron microscopy, which indicates that the obtained materials are well-defined hexagonal platelet-like particles. The synthesized CaAl-LDH had good thermo-stability based on thermo-gravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry, and pyrolysis showed four mass loss stages. From batch adsorption experiments, we found that the adsorption fitted a Langmuir model (R2=0.997) very well; the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 162.3 mg/g corresponded to the experimental data (166.9 mg/g), and is significantly higher than previous reports. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model (R2=0.998). Additionally, co-existing competitive anions influenced phosphate adsorption in the order of CO32-> SO42-> NO3-. Adsorbent dosage and contact time could also impact CaAl-LDH phosphate adsorption capacity. CaAl-LDH in this study could be applied in the recovery and reuse of phosphate from industrial wastewater because of its outstanding performance and stability.
