The ability of MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their calcined products to adsorb the water contaminants 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (DNOC) was assessed. Adsorption tests were conducted on LDHs with variable Mg/Al ratios (and variable layer charge), pH values, contact times and initial pesticide concentrations to identify the optimum conditions for the intended purpose. Adsorbents and adsorption products were characterized by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy as well as atomic absorption spectroscopy and thermal analyses. The amounts of pesticides removed from water were determined by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. All adsorbents except the carbonate-containing hydrotalcite possessed a very high adsorption capacity for both contaminants.
