adsorbates, and the adsorption behaviors of a variety of pollutants in wastewater are
strongly influenced by the surface defects of the adsorbents. With simple chemical and
structural properties, nano-Mg (OH) 2 exhibits a high adsorption affinity and selectivity to
heavy metals from wastewater. The insight into the surface complex structures of heavy
metals on the Mg (OH) 2 surface is fundamental for both the mechanism and application of …
