Abstract: In order to find a relatively effective adsorbent for water dissolved heavy metal anions, and to explore the optimal preparation conditions, the adsorption of Mg-Al hydrotalcite on Cr(VI) anion was studied. In the experiment, several factors, including ion ratio of Mg/Al, pH, reaction temperature and aging time, were investigated to analyze the effect of adsorption of Mg-AL-LDHs on Cr(VI) anion by single factor tests and orthogonal experiments of equilibrium adsorption. The results indicated that when the ion ratio of Mg/Al was 2:1, the pH during preparation process was 10.5, the reaction temperature was 90℃ and the aging time was longer than 24 h, as-prepared Mg-Al-LDHs showed best adsorption effect on Cr(VI) with the adsorption amount up to 10.5 mg/g. In summary, the optimal preparation conditions were determined to fabricate Mg-Al hydrotalcite with effective adsorption capacity, which might provide certain guidance for the choosing of heavy metal anion adsorption material and the research on the adsorption properties of Mg-Al hydrotalcite on Cr(VI).
