Ni$^2$/Fe$^{3+}$LDH, (Ni-Fe-CO3 LDH) with Ni/Fe molar ratio 3.0 was synthesized by co-precipitation for the remediation of chromium (VI), and Alizarine Red-S (ARS-dye) as anionic species. The investigated adsorbent was characterized by TGA, SEM, XRD, BET and FTIR. The effect of the hydrogen ion concentration of the medium, shaking time, ARS-dye and/or Cr(VI) concentration and adsorbents mass on the process was studied. The results of Ni-Fe-CO$_3$ LDH fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir isother…
