Phosphorus is widely used in agriculture and industry. However, excessive phosphorus can cause eutrophication in aquatic environment. Therefore, the development of an simple, efficient and economical method for phos-phate removal from wastewater is urgently needed. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) was prepared by a facile method. In order to identify optimal amino acid, the adsorption performance of phosphate for six CaAl-amino acid-LDHs were comparatively stud...
