Sodalite type zeolite from silicon and aluminum post consume was coated with layered double hydroxide (molar relationship Mg2+ / Al3+ = 2) by co-precipitation to low saturated method. The structural, morphological and textural properties for the zeolite, LDH and coated material were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) 27Al and textural measurements. The solids obtained were used by removal Cu2+, Cl-, NO3- and SO42- from Cu(NO3)2, CuCl2 and CuSO4 solutions. Removal capacity was studied by X-ray Fluorescence spectrometry (XFR) (for Cu, Cl and S) and UV-vis spectroscopy (NO3-), the results were showed the sodalite coated with LDH retained simultaneous uptake cations and anions Cu2+ (9.26 mmol*g-1), Cl- (9.34 mmol*g-1), SO42- (8.82 mmol*g-1) and NO3- (14.41 mmol*g-1). These results show zeolites coated with LDH can using how removal harmful cations and anions and catalysts.
