Design of a monolithic composite with geopolymer foam/layered double hydroxide for ion immobilization from alkazline environment.

Key Points

• Ion immobilization efficiency improves with the use of layered double hydroxides, and geopolymer foam is key.
• Research shows that combining geopolymer foam with layered double hydroxides can enhance ion retention.
• Design includes a monolithic composite approach, focusing on stability and performance in challenging conditions.
• Innovation in ion immobilization may lead to better environmental management practices for alkaline waste.
