Abstract

In this study, Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate modified double layered hydroxides (SDS-LDH) and Graphene Oxide Double Layered Hydroxides (GO-LDH) were synthesized via reconstruction and sonochemical methods, respectively. Batch experiments were performed to study the adsorption behaviour and mechanism of the synthesized adsorbents to eliminate Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 dye (CBB) from an aqueous solution. GO-LDH was more efficient in CBB adsorption through ion exchange, resulting in qe= 1430 mg/g using 5 mg of GO-LDH at 5 min owing to its high specific average surface area and inter-lamellar distance. However, SDS-LDH depended on the hydrophobic interaction with CBB leading to qe= 62 mg/g using 85 mg of SDS-LDH at 60 min. SDS-LDH and GO-LDH obeyed the PSO model with a GO-LDH adsorption initial rate 7 times higher than that of SDS-LDH as discussed by the intra-particle diffusion model via three steps.
