Investigating the role of the morphology of the Zn-Al LDH on the adsorption of humic acid from aqueous solutions

Flake Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (FLDHs) and microspheres of LDH (MLDHs) were fabricated with a simple hydrothermal method to investigate the role of the morphology of Zn-Al LDH for humic acid (HA) adsorption from synthetic solutions and natural water. The effect of process variables, i.e. cont...
