M2Al-CMC hybrids were obtained by coprecipitation and characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), vibrational spectroscopies, chemical analysis, and thermal analysis coupled to mass spectrometry. Following, pyrolyzed materials obtained between 500–1000 ◦C were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Above 600 ◦C, Raman spectra of all samples showed the presence of graphitic carbon, which plays a role in the degree of crystallinity of produced inorganic phases (for comparison purposes, M2Al-CO3 materials were investigated after calcination in the same experimental conditions). XRD patterns of Mg2Al-CMC pyrolyzed between 600–1000 ◦C showed poorly crystallized MgO and absence of spinel reflections, whereas for Zn2Al-CMC, it was observed well crystallized nanometric ZnO at 800 ◦C, and ZnAl2O4 and γ-Al2O3 phases at 1000 ◦C. Above 800 ◦C, the carbothermic reaction was noticed, transforming ZnO to zinc vapour. This study opens perspectives for nanocomposites preparation based on carbon and inorganic (mixed) oxides through precursors having organic-inorganic interactions at the nanoscale domain. Keywords: intercalation compounds; layered materials; layered double hydroxides; hydrotalcite; thermal analysis; carboxymethylcellulose; carbon-based nanocomposites 1. Introduction More than forty minerals have been identified as layered double hydroxide (LDH) phases which structures are analogous to brucite mineral, Mg(OH)2 [1]. In nature, partial replacement of magnesium ions by Al3+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Mn3+ or Co3+ produces an excess of positive charges in the structure that are neutralized by simple counter ions such as carbonate, hydroxide, sulphate or chloride. In some minerals, divalent cations like Zn2+, Ni2+, Fe2+ or Mn2+ are present instead of magnesium. These materials are also called as hydrotalcite-type compounds given that the first identified LDH phase was nominated hydrotalcite (due to its textural resemblance with talc) [2]. The chemical composition of LDH materials is usually represented by the general formula 2+ 3+ x+ m x 2+ 3+ [(M (1 x)M x)(OH)2] [A −x/m nH2O] − and denoted as M RM -A, where M is the metal ion, − 2+ 3+ · m 2+ 3+ R is the M /M molar ratio and A − is a hydrated anion [2,3]. The M /M molar ratio in the minerals is usually 3 or 2 as for example in hydrotalcite ([Mg Al (OH) ]CO 4H O) and quintinite 6 2 16 3· 2 ChemEngineering 2019, 3, 55; doi:10.3390/chemengineering3020055 www.mdpi.com/journal/chemengineering ChemEngineering 2019, 3, 55 22 of of 17 usually 3 or 2 as for example in hydrotalcite ([Mg6Al2(OH)16]CO3·4H2O) and quintinite ([Mg Al (OH) ]CO 3H O), respectively [1]. In LDH structure, hydroxide ions are in a hexagonal ([Mg4Al22(OH)1212]CO3·3H3· 2O),2 respectively [1]. In LDH structure, hydroxide ions are in a hexagonal close-packed arrangement arrangement in in two two adjacent adjacent planes planes in in such such a way a way that that octahedral octahedral sites sites are are occupied occupied by metalby metal cations cations (Figure (Figure 1a).1a).

Galindoa, A. López-Delgadoa*, I. Padillaa and M. Yatesb aNational Centre for Metallurgical Research, CSIC. Avda./ Gregorio del Amo, 8. 28040 Madrid, Spain bInstitute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, CSIC. C./ Marie Curie, 2. 28049 Madrid, Spain *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Abstract Magnesium-aluminium hydrotalcite-like compounds at ratios of 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 were prepared using a non-conventional aluminium source, the hazardous wastes from the aluminium tertiary industry. The method consisted in a conventional coprecipitation at constant pH 10 with magnesium chloride hexahydrate and stable solutions of Al3+ from dispersions of the fine powder from the sleeve filter suction system in the aluminium slag milling process. Resulting materials were strongly dependent on the presence of iron in the layers, as well as the carbonate-chloride content in the interlayer which affected the final properties. XRD and SAED indicated low crystallinity for these materials. Furthermore, as can be seen by SEM, the formation of disordered tiny nuclei was significant causing small spherical agglomerates. The infrared spectra showed a change of symmetry in the interlayer for the different ratios and the textural data suggested the “ink-bottle shaped” mesopores and type IIb isotherms, similar to the 1 results obtained for pillared clays, and the transition to H2 type in the hysteresis loops as function of the higher ratio.

  • Minerals of the Hydrotalcite Group in Metasomatically Altered Carbonate Rocks from Zawiercie, S Poland
    MINERALOGIA POLONICA Vol. 32, No 1, 2001 PL ISSSN 0032-6267 Ewa KOSZOWSKA1, Dorota SAŁATA1 MINERALS OF THE HYDROTALCITE GROUP IN METASOMATICALLY ALTERED CARBONATE ROCKS FROM ZAWIERCIE, S POLAND A b s t a c t . Minerals of the hydrotalcite-manasseite group were identified in samples from two borehols in Zawiercie (ZMZ-9, RK-1). The minerals were found in calciphire bodies (RK-1) and in one small, metasomatic veinlet (ZMZ-9) formed in Middle Devonian dolomites. Alteration of dolomitic sediments was genetically connected with infiltration fluids that caused formation of a gamet-pyroxene skam. Inves­ tigations have revealed the presence of both hydrotalcite and manasseite. Besides, in few places of the veinlet there occurs a mineral, which has been recognized as iowaite. Key-words: hydrotalcite-manasseite group, calciphires, ska ms, metasomatic veins, Zawiercie, S Poland INTRODUCTION The hydrotalcite group minerals belong to a large group of natural and synthetic dihydroxides named also as "layered double hydroxides" or "anionic clays". Their general formula can be written as: M |2XM (0 H)2 (Am“)x/mn H 2 0 (where M+2, M +3 are cations in the hydroxide layers and Am_ is the interlayer anion) and is based on positively charged brucite-like layers with C 03-like anions and water molecules in interlayer positions (Drits et al. 1987) (Fig. la). Within the group, depending on the composition of the octahedral brucite-type cationic layers, three subgroups can be distinguished in which the cations are: a) M g +2 + Al+3, b) Mg +2 + Fe+3 , c) M g + 2 + C r+3.

The synthesis of lithium sulfide-carbon (Li2S-C) composite by carbothermic reduction of lithium sulfate (Li2SO4) is investigated in this study. The relationship between reaction temperature and the consumption of carbon in the carbothermic reduction of Li2SO4 is first investigated to precisely control the carbon content in the resultant Li2S-C composites. To understand the relationship between the material structure and the electrochemical properties, Li2S-C composites with the same carbon content are subsequently synthesized by controlling the mass ratio of Li2SO4/carbon and the reaction temperature. Systematic electrochemical analyses and microscopic characterizations Edited by: demonstrate that the size of the Li S particles dispersed in the carbon matrix is the key Wen Liu, 2 Beijing University of Chemical parameter determining the electrochemical performance.

  • A Specific Gravity Index for Minerats
    A SPECIFICGRAVITY INDEX FOR MINERATS c. A. MURSKyI ern R. M. THOMPSON, Un'fuersityof Bri.ti,sh Col,umb,in,Voncouver, Canad,a This work was undertaken in order to provide a practical, and as far as possible,a complete list of specific gravities of minerals. An accurate speciflc cravity determination can usually be made quickly and this information when combined with other physical properties commonly leads to rapid mineral identification. Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ). A more recent list by Hurlbut (Dana's Manuatr of M,i,neral,ogy,LgE2) is incomplete and others are limited to rock forming minerals,Trdger (Tabel,l,enntr-optischen Best'i,mmungd,er geste,i,nsb.ildend,en M,ineral,e, 1952) and Morey (Encycto- ped,iaof Cherni,cal,Technol,ogy, Vol. 12, 19b4). In his mineral identification tables, smith (rd,entifi,cati,onand. qual,itatioe cherai,cal,anal,ys'i,s of mineral,s,second edition, New york, 19bB) groups minerals on the basis of specificgravity but in each of the twelve groups the minerals are listed in order of decreasinghardness. The present work should not be regarded as an index of all known minerals as the specificgravities of many minerals are unknown or known only approximately and are omitted from the current list.

In recent years, so called in situ oxidation processes have been developed to remediate chlorinated organic solvents from groundwater and soil by injecting solutions of oxidising agents such as permanganate or peroxydisulphate. We here present modified layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with intercalated oxidising agents that might serve as new reactants for these remediation strategies. LDHs might serve as support and stabiliser materials for selected oxidising agents during injection, as the uncontrolled reaction and consumption might be inhibited, and guarantee that the selected oxidants persist in the subsurface after injection. In this study, LDHs with hydrotalcite- and hydrocalumite-like structures intercalated with permanganate and peroxydisulphate anions were synthesised and their efficiency was tested in batch experiments using trichloroethene or 1,1,2-trichloroethane as the target contaminants.

Abstract: Hydrotalcites are layered double hydroxides displaying a variety of stoichiometry caused by the different arrangement of the stacking of the layers, ordering of the metal cations, as well as the arrangement of anions and water molecules, in the interlayer galleries. The compounds of the hydrotalcite group show a wide range of the possible applications due to their specific properties, such as their large surface area, ion exchange ability, the insolubility in water and most of the organic sorbents, and others. Affordability, wide possibilities of manufacturing, and presence of sufficient natural deposits make hydrotalcites potentially very useful for the construction industry, as either a building material itself or an additive in mortars, concrete or in polymers composites used in constructions.

  • A Novel Route for the Preparation of Hydrotalcite and Synthesis of Intercalated Reversible Dioxygen-Carrying Cobalt (II) Complexes
    A Novel Route for the Preparation of Hydrotalcite and Synthesis of Intercalated Reversible Dioxygen-Carrying Cobalt (II) Complexes M. ZIKMUND, К. PUTYERA, and K. HRNCIAROVÁ Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, SK-842 36 Bratislava Received 17 May 1996 Reacting a solid MgCC>3-3H20 or Mg5(C03)4(OH)2 • 5H2O (nesquehonite, hydromagnesite, dypingite) with an aqueous solution of sodium aluminate and sodium hydroxide is a novel pro­ cedure to synthesize solid solutions with desired stoichiometric Mg/Al ratios in the hydrotalcite series [Мёз-*А1(ОН)8-2хЫ(СОз)(Н20)4-х] (0 < x < 1). By mixing of an intermediate solid solution of magnesium aluminium oxide obtained by thermal decomposition of hydrotalcite with an aqueous solution of mono- or a, u-dicarboxylates which con­ tain N-donor atom in the presence of ethylene glycol as a swelling agent pillared aminocarboxylate derivatives of hydrotalcite are produced. Nitrogen donor atoms of aminocarboxylate pillars may react with cobalt(II) complexes to form coordinatively unsaturated cobalt(II) chelates. The synthe­ sized model Co(salen) and Co(salophen) complexes immobilized in the interlayer region of anionic clays reversibly bind dioxygen and enjoy high stability in the course of oxygenation-deoxygenation cycles. A relatively scarce natural mineral of the chemi­ tion of divalent cations (e.g. Mn = Mg, Zn, Fe, Co, Ni, 111 cal composition ranged from [Mg6Al2(OH)i6][(C03) Cu) and trivalent cations (e.g. M = AI, Fe, Co, Mn, (H20)4] to [Mg4Al2(OH)12][(C03)(H20)3] occurs in Cr, V) into the brucite-like layers; replacing of anions 71 2 2 two polytype modifications, C03-hydrotalcite-3ič (hy­ (e.g.
