Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol with MgAlTi mixed oxides catalysts obtained from layered double hydroxides.

Highlights: [•] MgAl and MgAlTi mixed oxides were obtained from LDH materials synthesized by the sol–gel method. [•] Ti4+ was incorporated to the LDH structure at low content of M4+. [•] MgAl and MgAlTi mixed oxides were evaluated as photocatalysts in the photodegradation of 2,4-dichlophenol. [•] Very higher photodegradation of 2,4-DCP was reached with MgAl and MgAlTi mixed oxide catalysts than with P-25 TiO2. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
