Preparation of Lithium Aluminum Layered Double Hydroxide from Ammonium Dawsonite and Lithium Carbonate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2012
Abstract
Aluminum lithium hydroxide carbonate hydrate, also known as Al/Li layered double hydroxide or Al-Li hydrotalcite-like compound [Al2Li(OH)6]2CO3•nH2O, was prepared by reaction of lithium carbonate with ammonium dawsonite [NH4Al(OH)2CO3]. The reaction of ammonium dawsonite with a lithium carbonate satured solution at different temperatures and lithium carbonate concentrations was studied. The obtained solids were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By this method, crystalline Li/Al LDH [Al2Li(OH)6]2CO3·3H2O can be obtained at 60 °C and 4 h reaction time.
