| Summary: | In this study, zinc-aluminium-nitrate-LDH (ZANO) at different Zn/Al molar ratios of 1,
2, 3 and 4 were successfully synthesised via co-precipitation method. Studies on
intercalation of various anions namely dodecylsulphate (DS), acetate (AC), anthranilate
(AN), salicylate (SAL) acetylsalicylate (ASAL), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetate (24D),
naphthalene acetate (NAA) and anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQ2) for the formation of
the nanocomposites had been carried out.
The anions of DS (having 12 C) and AC (having 2 C) were chosen to study the effect of
the alkyl length on the formation of the nanocomposites and it was revealed that the
basal spacing values were varied depending on the size of the anion. The
nanocomposites of AN, SAL and ASAL with different ortho benzoate substitution groups were prepared via co-precipitation method. The basal spacing expansions of the
nanocomposites: ZAA (ca. 1.3 nm), ZAS (ca. 1.6 nm) and ZAAS (1.6 nm) compared to
that of the LDH (0.9 nm) are evidence of the successful intercalation process.
Anion exchange study of various anions having different number of benzene rings (24D,
NAA, AQ2) and different ortho benzoate substitution groups (AN, SAL, ASAL) were
carried out. ZADS was chosen as a starting material where DS (interlayer anion), was
expected to exchange with the newly introduced anions. Only AQ2 and AN were
successfully exchanged with DS in between the layers. Thermal decomposition of the
nanocomposites (ZAA, ZAS, ZAAS) at the heating temperature of 100-1000 ºC showed
that the nanocomposites were thermally stable up to 300 ºC.
The release profile of the ASAL anion from ZAAS in different solutions (pH 2, 6.5, 10)
revealed that the ASAL anion was rapidly released into the medium at pH 2. The
interlayer spacing of ZAAS slightly reduced at pH 6.5 and at pH 10 the basal spacing
shrinks due to the replacing the ASAL anion by the carbonate anion. Kinetic models of
pseudo-second order could be used to describe the release of the ASAL from ZAAS. |
