Title: Double charge composite materials for contaminant removal and methods of making the same

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2294006

A method for removing a contaminant from a fluid is provided. A positively charged layered double hydroxide is combined with a negatively charged clay material to form adsorption material. The adsorption material is contacted with an aqueous solution containing the contaminant to adsorb the contaminant onto the adsorption material.
