Resumen

The objective of the work studied here was to synthesize Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) with aluminum extracted from saline slags and test their function once calcined into adsorbents/catalysts for use in the removal of emerging contaminants (pharmaceutical compounds) from aqueous media.Two different techniques for the removal of contaminants were tested, adsorption and photocatalysis. In the present work, a new procedure for the recovery of aluminum present in saline slags generated during the secondary recycling processes of aluminum as adsorbent/photocatalyst of diclofenac and salicylic acid, as examples of emerging contaminants, has been reported. Results obtained have been extensively analyzed throughout the present study.
