M. Badreddine et al., INFLUENCE OF PH ON PHOSPHATE INTERCALATION IN ZINC-ALUMINUM LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDE, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 63(5), 1998, pp. 741-748
The exchange of chloride ion by phosphate ions in [Zn-Al-Cl] layered d
ouble hydroxide was investigated using X-ray diffraction and infrared
spectroscopy. The effects of the pH of the solution containing the pho
sphate ions on the ion exchange was studied. The best sample in terms
of crystallinity, was obtained at pH 8. This sample was further charac
terized by scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis.
