In the present work, a new procedure for the recovery of aluminum present in saline slags generated during the secondary recycling processes of aluminum as adsorbent/photocatalyst of diclofenac and salicylic acid, as examples of emerging contaminants, has been reported. Results obtained have been extensively analyzed throughout the present study.310 p.application/pdfengLayered double hydroxidesAluminum industrial wastesAdsorptionPhotocatalysisSaline slagsLayered double hydroxides from aluminum saline slags applied in adsorption and photocatalysis processes for the removal of emerging pollutantsHidróxidos dobles estratificados de escorias salinas de aluminio aplicados en procesos de adsorción y fotocatálisis para la eliminación de contaminantes emergentesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
