Sorption of water vapor with magnesium-chromium double hydroxide precipitated in the presence of sodium decyl sulfate

It was shown by X-ray diffraction and water vapor sorption that the presenc e of sodium decyl sulfate during precipitation of magnesium-chromium binary hydroxide varied its structural and texture-sorption properties. The speci mens obtained had a layered double structure, in which the interplanar spac ing d(003) increased from 1.02 to 2.94 nm with an increase in decyl sulfate concentration from 0.05 to 1.00 mol per mole of hydroxide. The specimens h ad a microporous texture.
