This study aimed to extract orthophosphate (ortho-P) from lipid-rich waste AF liquor (AFL) by Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (Mg/Al LDHs) adsorption, evaluate the influence of carbonate and investigate adsorption mechanisms. The carbonate influence experiment using synthetic P-rich wastewater indicated that low carbonate level was favorable for P extraction by LDHs. And then, real AFL rich in volatile fatty acids (VFAs), carbonate and ortho-P was applied as adsorbate to explore the Mg/Al LDHs adsorption performance. Experimental results indicated that 4 g/L Mg/Al LDHs could extract 88.3% of ortho-P from the AFL with low carbonate level (4829.83 mg CaCO/L), and the adsorption quantity was 62.99 mg P/g LDHs, however, negligible VFAs were extracted. Kinetics and mechanisms analysis indicated that adsorption of P onto Mg/Al LDHs was a rapid physiochemical process, including ion exchange and surface adsorption. Finally, the nutrients release test confirmed the slow-release property of intercalated P.

In this work, the coprecipitation approach was successfully used to create Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like inhibitors modified with varying amounts of Zn, and their characteristics were assessed. The findings indicate that the flame retardancy of Mg-Al hydrotalcite (MgAl-LDHs) is not significantly affected by Zn content. By adding MgAl-LDHs, the temperature at which the exothermic reaction started to occur was raised from 146.

The delivery of active functional molecules across the skin is laborious due to its structural intricacy and exceptional barrier characteristics. Developments in nanotechnology yielded innovative transport vehicles derived from nanomaterials to reinforce the skin's ability to interact with active ingredient molecules and increase its bioavailability. The current study employed crystalline inorganic two-dimensional double hydroxides (LDHs) as an efficient carrier and delivery vehicle for folic acid (FA) in a topical skincare formulation.

Environmental remediation has emerged as a critical concern, with dye removal via adsorption being a particularly effective approach. This study demonstrates that appropriately synthesized Mg-Al-Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) exhibit exceptional adsorption capacities for anionic dyes. We investigate the impact of different washing media on the material's morphology, surface area, and adsorption capabilities.
