Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A nitrate containing Mg/Fe layered double hydroxides (Mg/Fe-LDHs) material was prepared via hydrothermal process and the calcination product (Mg/Fe-LDHO) was used as adsorbent to remove fluoride from aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and pHpzc analysis were used to characterize the samples. Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was employed to analyse the dissolution of the metal ions from the synthesized adsorbent and commercial activated alumina respectively. Compared with commercial activated alumina, the synthesized adsorbent entirely avoided the potential risk of alumina and had a lower leakage of metal ions. A series of batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of various experimental parameters, such as calcination temperature, adsorbent dosage, fluoride concentration, initial pH, contact time, adsorption temperature and co-existing anions. The results showed that 270°C was the optimal calcination temperature. The adsorption rapidly occurred in the initial 45 min and adsorption equilibrium was established within 2.5 h. Maximum desorption of 97.2% was achieved in the fluoride desorption studies at different pH. The adsorption data were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption capacity calculated by Langmuir equation was 28.65 mg g-1. In addition, the effects of co-existing anions on the adsorption capacity declined with the following order: PO43- > CO32- > SO42- > NO3- > Cl-. It can be concluded that the synthetic adsorbent in this study is a promising material for fluoride removal from solutions.
