ABSTRACT
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) can be used as an adsorbent to remove pollutants from aqueous solutions, but it drawbacks where the structure is easily damaged so that it cannot be reused in the adsorption process and has a low adsorption capacity. This can be overcome through the development of layered double hydroxide material composited with chitosan support material. In addition to untilizing waste, chitosan is selected as supporting material in the layered double hydroxide modification process, because it is cheap, has high selectivity, and is biodegradable. In this study, the adsorbent was applied in the process of removing Congo Red (CR). The LDH modification process using chitosan was successfully carried out, as seen from XRD analysis which resembled the base material (Mg-Al) and support (CT), the BET analysis which showed an increase in surface area, as well as from the large adsorption capacity value and the regeneration process which tends to be stable after compositing is done.
