Mg-Fe LDH synthesized using co-precipitation was used for As(V) sorption. Pseudo-second order and Freundlich models well fitted kinetic and equilibrium data. Mg-Fe LDH showed the highest adsorption capacity at pH 5.5. DLM described the formation of monodentate and bidentate inner sphere complexes. Adsorption modeling was supported by the analyses of the solid phase.
