Adsorption of glutamic acid from aqueous solution with calcined layered double Mg-Fe-CO_3 hydroxide

Layered double Mg-Fe-CO3 hydroxide （Mg-Fe-LDH） with a mole ratio of Mg to Fe of 3 was synthesized by coprecipitation method and calcined product Mg-Fe-CLDH was obtained by heating Mg-Fe-LDH at 500 ℃ for 6 h. The as prepared Mg-Fe-LDH and calcined Mg-Fe-CLDH were used for removal of glutamic acid （Glu） from aqueous solution, respectively. Batch studies were carried out to address various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH, initial glutamic acid （Glu） concentration, co-existing anions and temperature. Glu was removed effectively （99.9%） under the optimized experimental conditions with Mg-Fe-CLDH. The adsorption kinetics follows the Ho’s pseudo second-order model. Isotherms for adsorption with Mg-Fe-CLDH at different solution temperatures were well described using the Langmuir model with a good correlation coefficient. The intraparticle diffusion model fitted the data well, which suggests that the intraparticle diffusion is not only the rate-limiting step.

Sulfate Ions Immobilization of Calcined Layered Double Hydroxides in Hardened Cement Paste and Concrete

The sulfate ions immobilization behavior of calcined layered double hydroxides(CLDHs) in the hardened cement paste was investigated. The experimental results show that the sulfate ions in cement paste are immobilized by CLDHs to reconstruct the layered structure and aggregate around CLDHs. The immobilization amount of sulfate ions by CLDHs reaches 4.74×10^-3 mol/g, while the increasing amount indicates non-linear relation with the addition of CLDHs. The incorporation of CLDHs decreases the amount of ettringite formed to limit the expansion of cement paste, which decays the sulfate reaction to enhance the sulfate resistance of concrete.

Immobilization of Penicillin G Acylase on Calcined Layered Double Hydroxides

A hydrotalcite-like Mg 2+ /Al 3+ layered double hydroxide(LDH) material was prepared by means of a modified coprecipitation method involving a rapid mixing step followed by a separate aging process. LDH calcined at 500 ℃, denoted as CLDH, was characterized by XRD, IR and BET surface area measurements. CLDH has a poor crystalline MgO-like structure with a high surface area and porosity. CLDH was used as a support for the immobilization of penicillin G acylase(PGA). The effect of varying the immobilization conditions, such as pH, contact time and the ratio of enzyme to support, on the activity of the immobilized enzyme in the hydrolysis of penicillin G has been studied. It was found that the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreased slightly with decreasing pH and reached a maximum after a contact time of 24 h. The activity of the immobilized enzyme increased with increasing the ratio of enzyme to support. It was found that the adsorption of PGA inhibited the expected reaction of CLDH with an aqueous medium to regenerate a LDH phase. Its original activity(36%) after 15 cycles of reuse of the immobilized enzyme was retained, but no further loss in the activity was observed.

Studies of the Catalytic Activity and Deactivation of Calcined Layered Double Hydroxides in the Reaction of Ethanol with Propylene Oxide

The reaction of ethanol with propylene oxide over calcined layered double hydroxides(CLDH) was investigated. The results show that CLDH has a good activity and a good selectivity, but the activity and the selectivity of CLDH decrease when CLDH reforms LDH- the so called 'memory effect'. The influence of the 'memory effect' on the CLDH returning to LDH was studied by the hydration reaction. It is shown that the 'memory effect' is not complete, and the decreases of the Mg/Al molar ratio of LDH and the crystallite size due to the increase of the hydration reaction time result in the drop of the activity and the selectivity.

The Adsorbing Effect of Calcined Layered Double Hydroxide for Chloride Ions in Simulated Concrete Pore Solutions

The adsorbing effect of calcined layered double hydroxide （CLDH） for chloride ions in simulated concrete pore （SCP） solutions was investigated with the potentiodynamic polarization method, impedance measurement, ion selective electrode analysis and XRD. CLDH could effectively adsorb Cl^- and increase pH value in SCP solutions containing NaCl. The chloride to hydroxyl ions ratio （[C1^-]/[OH^-]） of the solution greatly decreased by CLDH treatment. In CLDH treated SCP solution with CI-, the pitting potential of carbon steel notably increased, and the surface impedance was much higher, indicating strengthened passivation. The process of CLDH adsorbing chloride ions from SCP solutions was accompanied with the reconstruction of the layered structure.

Solid base catalysts derived from Ca-M-Al(M = Mg, La, Ce, Y) layered double hydroxides for dimethyl carbonate synthesis by transesterification of methanol with propylene carbonate

Composite solid base catalysts derived from Ca‐M‐Al(M=Mg,La,Ce,Y)layered double hydroxides(LDH)were synthesized,characterized and applied to the transesterification of methanol with propylene carbonate.X‐ray diffraction analyses of the catalysts show that all of the catalysts were in the form of composite oxides.Compared with the Ca‐Al LDH catalyst,the specific surface areas and pore volumes of the catalysts were increased with the introduction of Mg,La or Ce.The catalytic performance of these catalysts increases in the order of Ca‐Y‐Al<Ca‐Al<Ca‐Ce‐Al<Ca‐La‐Al<Ca‐Mg‐Al,which is consistent with the total surface basic amounts of these materials and the formation of especially strong basic sites following modification with Mg and La.The Ca‐Mg‐Al catalyst shows the highest(Ca+Mg):Al atomic ratio,indicating that it likely contains more unsaturated O2?ions,providing it with the highest concentration of very strong basic sites.The recyclability of these catalysts is improved following the addition of Mg,La,Ce or Y,with the Ca‐Mg‐Al maintaining a high level of activity after ten recycling trials.X‐ray diffraction analyses of fresh and used Ca‐Mg‐Al demonstrate that this catalyst is exceptionally stable,which could be of value in practical applications related to heterogeneous catalysis.

3D Hierarchical Co–Al Layered Double Hydroxides with Long-Term Stabilities and High Rate Performances in Supercapacitors

Three-dimensional(3D) flower-like Co–Al layered double hydroxide(Co–Al-LDH) architectures composed of atomically thin nanosheets were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method in a mixed solvent of water and butyl alcohol. Owing to the unique hierarchical structure and modification by butyl alcohol, the electrochemical stability and the charge/mass transport of the Co–Al-LDHs was improved. When used in supercapacitors, the obtained Co–Al-LDHs deliver a high specific capacitance of 838 Fg^(-1) at a current density of 1 Ag^(-1)and excellent rate performance(753 Fg^(-1) at 30 Ag^(-1) and 677 Fg^(-1) at 100 Ag^(-1)), as well as excellent cycling stability with 95% retention of the initial capacitance even after 20,000 cycles at a current density of 5 Ag^(-1). This work provides a promising alternative strategy to enhance the electrochemical properties of supercapacitors.

Self-assembling organomodified Co/Al based layered double hydroxides (LDH) via one-step route

The preparation of self-assembling organomodified Co/Al-layered double hydroxide(LDH)via one-step route was studied. A common surfactant,sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(DBS),was employed as an organic modifier.The behavior and structure of self-assembled intercalated organic Co/Al-LDH were investigated by FTIR,SEM,WAXS,element analysis and TGA.Based upon the WAXS results and calculation by Bragg equation,the interlayer distance(d value)for organic Co/Al-LDH is enlarged from 0.75 nm to 3.10 nm,showing that the self-assembling behavior has been carried out successfully.Considering the observation from SEM, the product shows the morphology of organic Co/Al-LDH of a layered structure.In addition,FTIR,element analysis and TGA analysis show that the modifier is intercalated into the gallery of the Co/Al-LDH.Since organic modification for nanofiller is deemed to be necessary before applying it into polymer,the successful preparation of organomodified Co/Al-LDH will be significantly beneficial to the preparation and investigation of novel polymer/LDH nanocomposite.

In-situ layered double hydroxides on Mg−Ca alloy:Role of calcium in magnesium alloy

Mg−Al layered double hydroxides(LDHs),produced on cast Mg−xCa(x=0.5,0.8,2.0,wt.%)alloys by an in-situ growth method,showed good corrosion resistance compared to the bare magnesium substrate.The influence mechanism of the second phase(Mg_(2)Ca)on LDHs production was investigated.Increasing Ca content increased the amount of Mg_(2)Ca,decreasing the grain size and the corrosion rate of the alloys.The increased amount of the second phase particles and the grain refinement promoted the growth of LDHs,and thus led to the decreasing of corrosion rate of the Mg−xCa alloys with LDHs.A higher Mg_(2)Ca amount resulted in forming fluffy LDHs.Due to the dual effects of the second phase(Mg_(2)Ca)for LDHs growth and microgalvanic corrosion,LDHs/Mg−0.8Ca showed the lowest corrosion rate.

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies of Effective Adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol onto Calcine Mg/Al-CO_3 Layered Double Hydroxide

Adsorption of 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol（TCP） onto the calcined Mg/Al-CO_3 layered double hydroxide（CLDH） was investigated. The prepared Mg/Al-CO_3 layered double hydroxide（LDH） and CLDH were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction（XRD） and thermo gravimetric analyzer-differential scanning calorimeters（TG-DSC）. Moreover, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol（TCP） was removed effectively（94.7% of removal percentage in 9h） under the optimized experimental conditions. The adsorption kinetics data fitted the pseudosecond-order model well. The Freundlich, Langmuir, and Tempkin adsorption models were applied to the experimental equilibrium adsorption data at different temperatures of solution. The adsorption data fitted the Freundlieh adsorption isotherm with good values of the correlation coefficient. A mechanism of the adsorption process is proposed according to the intraparticle diffusion model, which indicates that the overall rate of adsorption can be described as three steps.

Ordering and disordering of in situ grown MgAl-layered double hydroxide and its effect on the structural and corrosion resistance properties

A MgAl-layered double hydroxide(MgAl-LDH)protective film was developed on AA6082 substrates via the in situ hydrothermal growth method to obtain a distinct cauliflower-like LDH structure,and coated substrates were further heat-treated in air at temperatures from 100 to 250℃ to further improve the corrosion resistance of MgAl-LDH by taking advantage of the LDH memory effect;also,the effect of calcination on MgAl-LDH structural stability and the corresponding corrosion resistance properties were investigated.The structural characterization of uncalcined and calcined LDH films were examined using scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,thermogravimetric analysis,differential scanning calorimetry,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The corresponding corrosion protection efficiency of the developed coating was studied through potentiodynamic polarization experiments and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.Compared with uncalcined MgAl-LDH,the calcined film showed a relatively lower corrosion current density and a higher impedance value,especially after heat treatment at 250℃.The findings demonstrate that calcination strongly affects the oriented growth of the LDH and causes an increase in the surface area and contraction of the basal spacing,which in turn caused a compact structure that substantially influenced the LDH corrosion resistance properties.

Salt freezing resistance improvement of cement-based materials incorporated with calcined layered double hydroxide

Salt freezing damage has severe impacts on durability of cement-based materials(CBMs).Calcined layered double hydroxide(CLDH),as an efficient environmental-friendly adsorption material,can impart excellent salt freezing resistance to CBMs.In this work,salt freezing resistance improvement of CBMs incorporated with CLDH was experimentally evaluated by chloride binding capacity,mass loss rate,relative dynamic elastic modulus,setting time,compressive strength,and micro structure tests.Beside these,the salt freezing damage model was established to effectively express the quantitative relationship between influencing factors and evaluation indexes of the salt freezing resistance of CBMs.Results show that CLDH can reconstruct its original layered structure to form reconstructed layered double hydroxide(RLDH).RLDH combines with chloride ions to form RLDH-Cl recrystallization,which can improve chloride binding capacity and pore structures of CBMs to relieve the salt freezing damage.The salt freezing damage model indicates that the suitable CLDH content can evidently alleviate the salt freezing damage,which facilitates the quantitative analysis of the effect of CLDH on the salt freezing resistance of CBMs.

Flexible aqueous Ni//Zn batteries have attracted much attention as promising candidates for energy storage in the field of flexible electronics.However,the Ni-based cathodes still face the challenges of poor conductivity,confined charge/mass transfer,and non-flexibility.In this work,we designed a hollow tubular structure consisting of a conductive silver nanowire (Ag NW) wrapped by active Ni Co layered double hydroxide (LDH),for enhancing the electrical conductivity,improving the charge/mass transfer kinetics,and facilitating the ion penetration.By optimizing the contents of Ni,Co and Ag NW,the Ni_(4)Co LDH@Ag_(1.5)NW composite shows a maximum specific capacity of 115.83 m Ah g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)measured in a two-electrode system.Highlightingly,the flexible aqueous Ni//Zn battery assembled by Ni_(4)Co LDH@Ag_(1.5)NW interwoven with multi-walled carbon nanotube cathode and Zn foil anode realizes a high power density of 160μW cm^(-2)at the energy density of 23.14μWh cm^(-2),which is superior compared with those of oxide/hydroxide based devices and even higher than those of many carbon-based supercapacitors,showing its promising potentials for flexible energy storage applications.
