A parent Mg-Al-LDH was upgraded in its adsorption properties due to the incorporation of tri-metal species oxy(hydroxide) nanoparticles obtaining Mn/Zn/Fe/Mg-Al-LDH composite for the phosphate recovery from simulated urban treated wastewater. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized Mn/Zn/Fe/Mg-Al-LDH make promising for real application without being environmentally harmful. The performance of Mn/Zn/Fe/Mg-Al-LDH composite was evaluated through batch adsorption assays.

In this study, (oxy)hydroxides were incorporated onto LTA and FAU-X zeolites to promote the phosphate adsorption. The performance of LTA-Fe and FAU-X-Fe was evaluated through batch adsorption assays.
