Removal of dyestuff from aqueous solution using layered double hydroxide / Siti Mariam Sumari

Among the various techniques for colour removal, adsorption is the most efficient and practically viable. However due to the relatively high production cost and difficulty in regeneration of activated carbon conventionally used as adsorbent for dye removal, there is a need to find alternatives. Cons...
