Abstract A layered double hydroxide (LDH) is referred to as anionic clay and easily synthesized in the laboratory. The reconstruction reaction of calcined LDH may prove it to be useful for sorbing anionic species from wastes. TcO4- and CrO42- are one of hazard elements in the nuclear and industrial wastes, respectively. The sorption reaction of aquatic TcO4- or CrO42- on calcined Mg/Al LDH was investigated. The calcined LDH was prepared by heating a synthesized Mg/Al LDH to 560 ºC. The batch sorption experiments were carried out in an inert atmosphere and at the constant temperature of 25 ºC. The liquid-solid reaction of TcO4- or CrO42- on calcined LDH was proposed to be stepwise ion-exchange reaction: generation of LDH hydroxide, Mg6Al2(OH)18, as an intermediate and then replacement of the OH- by TcO4- or CrO42- ions. The equilibrium constants (K) for ion-exchange reactions Mg6Al2(OH)18(s) + 2TcO4- = Mg6Al2(OH)16(TcO4)2(s) + 2OH- or Mg6Al2(OH)18(s) + CrO42- = Mg6Al2(OH)16(CrO4)(s) + 2OH- were evaluated by a non-linear least squares fit procedure. The ReO4- was used as a TcO4- surrogate. Calcined Mg/Al LDH, before and after the sorption reaction with ReO4- or CrO42- was characterized to study reaction mechanism. The analyses by powder X-ray diffraction, 27Al MAS NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy were carried out. The XRD pattern of LDH perrhenate or chromate shows the typical reflections for the layer-structured materials. The NMR and FT-IR spectra reveal that the calcined LDH was reconstructed after intercalation of ReO4- or CrO42- in the prepared aquatic solution. The detailed XRD analysis for the CrO42- intercalated material showed that the hydroxyl group on LDH surface is produced along with LDH chromate in the reaction solid. This result implies that the liquid-solid reaction of oxometallate on calcined LDH involves the ion-exchange process.
Introduction Hydrotalcite is rare but naturally occurring mineral. It has a layered structure and anion-exchange capacity. It is also called layered double hydroxide (LDH). The layered structure of LDH is destroyed when LDH is calcined. However, this structure is reconstructed with anionic species such as Cl-, CrO42-, and PO43- in aqueous solution. This property of calcined LDH may prove to be useful for sorbing anionic species from industrial and nuclear waste. Technetium-99 is a hazardous element because it exists as appreciable amounts in nuclear waste and has very long half-life. TcO4- anion is highly soluble and mobile. Chromate anion is one of a toxic element of the industrial wastewater. It is used by industries such as metal platting, leather tanning and textile dyeing. The purpose of this study is to investigate the solid-liquid reaction of TcO4- or CrO42- with calcined LDH as an inorganic sorbent. Emphasis of the work is placed upon understanding the reaction equilibrium and mechanism.

Conclusions The sorption of TcO4-, ReO4- or CrO42- on calcined LDH is found to be a stepwise ion-exchange reaction: generation of LDH hydroxide, Mg6Al2(OH)18, as an intermediate and then replacement of the OH- by TcO4-, ReO4- or CrO42- ions. The equilibrium constants for ion-exchange reaction are obtained by a non-linear least squares fit procedure. MO4- (M=Tc or Re):K1 = 1.40 0.11K2 = 0.47 0.20 CrO42- : K = 25.3 3.5 The results of powder XRD, FT-IR and 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy reveal that the layered structure destroyed by calcination is reconstructed after intercalating ReO4- or CrO42- in the aqueous salt solution. The XRD patterns of mixture of LDH(CrO4) and LDH(OH)2 demonstrate that an intermediate of the sorption process is LDH hydroxide. It is proposed that the CrO42- ion incorporates in the interlayer through a parallel route.
