Magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite and carbon nanotube composites (CNTs/MgAl-LDHs) were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method using magnesium nitrate, aluminum nitrate and carbon nanotubes as raw materials and urea as precipitant. The samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, BET and other methods. The adsorption properties of CNTs/MgAl-LDHs on chloride ions and the factors affecting the adsorption of chloride ions were studied. The results show that the prepared CNTs/MgAl-LDHs exhibit a three-dimensional honeycomb structure with a specific surfa...
