Preparation of Ca2Al1–mFem(OH)6Cl 2H2O-doped hydrocalumites and application of their derived mixed oxides in the photodegradation of ibuprofen

Aluminum from saline slags generated during the recycling of this metal, extracted under reflux conditions with aqueous NaOH, was used in the synthesis of hydrocalumite-type solids with the formula Ca2Al1–mFem(OH)6Cl 2H2O. The characterization of the obtained solids was carried out by powder X-ray d...

Sumario:Aluminum from saline slags generated during the recycling of this metal, extracted under reflux conditions with aqueous NaOH, was used in the synthesis of hydrocalumite-type solids with the formula Ca2Al1–mFem(OH)6Cl 2H2O. The characterization of the obtained solids was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, element chemical analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption at -196ºC and electron microscopy. The results showed the formation of Layered Double Hydroxide-type compounds whose characteristics varied as the amount of incorporated Fe3+ increased. These solids were calcined at 400ºC and evaluated for the catalytic photodegradation of ibuprofen, showing promising results in the elimination of this drug by advanced oxidation processes. The CaAl photocatalyst (without Fe) showed the best performance under UV light for the photodegradation of ibuprofen.
