Understanding the physicochemical properties of Zn–Fe LDH nanostructure as sorbent material for removing of anionic and cationic dyes mixture
Abstract In our work, the removal of cationic and anionic dyes from water was estimated both experimentally and computationally. We check the selectivity of the adsorbent, Zn–Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) toward three dyes. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesis adsorbent before a...
