The synthesis of Mg-Al, Ca-Al, Zn-Al and Cu-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was investigated with a one-step wet mechanochemical route. The research aims to expand on the mechanochemical synthesis of LDH using a mill designed for wet grinding application. A 10% slurry of solids was added to a Netzsch LME 1 horizontal bead mill and milled for 1 h at 2000 rpm. Milling conditions were selected according to machine limitations and as an initial exploratory starting point. Precursor materials selected consisted of a mixture of oxides, hydroxides and basic carbonates. Samples obtained were divided such that half was filtered and dried at 60 °C for 12 h. The remaining half of the samples were further subjected to ageing at 80 °C for 24 h as a possible second step to the synthesis procedure. Synthesis conditions, such as selected precursor materials and the MII:MIII ratio, were adapted from existing mechanochemical methods. LDH synthesis prior to ageing was successful with precursor materials observably present within each sample. No Cu-Al LDH was clearly identifiable. Ageing of samples resulted in an increase in the conversion of raw materials to LDH product. The research offers a promising ‘green’ method for LDH synthesis without the production of environmentally harmful salt effluent. The synthesis technique warrants further exploration with potential for future commercial up-scaling.

Three series of layered double hydroxides (LDH) with a hydrotalcite-like structure and composition corresponding to [Mg4Al2(OH)12(CO3)]·3H2O have been prepared from a common batch by applying three different aging procedures, namely, stirring at room temperature, hydrothermal treatment, and microwave-hydrothermal treatment. It has been found that the tested properties of the samples (mainly related to their crystallinity) are considerably improved by using the microwave-hydrothermal treatment. Shorter times are also evinced than in the other two aging treatments; however, if the microwave-hydrothermal treatment is too far extended, incipient destruction of the particles is observed.
