“…If they are rehydrated with an aqueous solution containing anions, they transform into new LDHs, as was demonstrated by Miyata [39] with Mg-Al-CO 3 . Also organic anions have been recently intercalated by this procedure [40].…”

“…Gradually drying this colloidal compound, well-ordered LDHs can be retrieved, with the potentiality of intercalating changed anionic species. Delamination can be achieved by several different mechanisms, in particular if we use organically modified LDHs [3,41]. To give some examples, organic intercalated anions like acetate, formate, or lactate abet delamination in water [42].…”

“…The option grounds on what types of cations form the layers, which are the intercalated anions and, particularly, which are the properties requested to the LDH, such as: crystallinity, porosity, morphology, etc. [3][4][5][6][7]. Two main groups distinguish the different synthesizing methods: direct and indirect.…”

“…Foremost, by virtue of the widespread range of metal cation options, structures with different physical and chemical properties have been realized; in addition the considerable surface/volume ratio linked to the repetitive LDHs organization can be exploited to design high-performance solids; last but not least, the power of interwoven in interlayer space different species, such as: metal ions of mixed valences, water and even more complex organic molecules, has made them attractive for top applications in the most varied fields, from engineering to medicine. Just to recall only some of the possible utilizations we can cite: surfaces design with super hydrophobic properties [1], anticorrosion coatings [2,3], flame-retardants [4], water waste treatments [5,6], biomedical applications [7,8], gas sensors [7], nanostructured-modified textiles [8]. Furthermore, the possibility of substituting transition metals cations to divalent cations made LDHs very interesting in energy conversion and harvesting [9].…”

The peculiar properties of layered Double Hydroxides (LDH) have progressively drawn the attention of the scientific community. The main characteristic of LDH is the ability to capture anionic species (organic and inorganic) to build different composites. This is made possible by the sandwich structure of the LDH, similar to the brucite architecture, made up of positive charged lamellas interspersed by anions. Several distant fields, ranging from medicine to physics and engineering, exhibit interest in LDH applications. To satisfy all those requirements, energy was spent to sculpt LDHs physical and chemical properties and for designing layered double hydroxides "ad hoc" for different needs and employments. Notably, among the many applications, those related to metallurgical processes and products are of particular interest. This paper presents the characteristics, the main preparation routes and reviews the applications of LDH to metallurgy with some examples taken from the experimental research of the author.

“…However, few adsorbents are available to simultaneously remove all of these contaminants in one step. As cost effective, efficient and sustainable adsorption materials, naturally occurring clay minerals have been recognized as practical and versatile template materials to treat a wide range of contaminants [7,8]. In this context, montmorillonite is a typical example of an abundant clay mineral that has been widely used in environmental remediation.…”

The term "clay" was used in everyday language long before being imbued with a well-defined scientific meaning. Therefore, it is not surprising that it carries different connotations to different communities. To the industrialist, it is a raw material available in large amounts at cheap prices, characterized by its macroscopic properties relative to various applications. To the geologist working in the field, it is a particular secondary mineral largely found in weathered deposits from sedimentary or volcanic origin. To the chemist and mineralogist, it refers to a particular type of mineral structure defined at the atomic level.Recent recommendations of the JNC 1 advise to use the term "clay minerals" to refer to precisely determined crystallographic structures, and define "clays" in terms of macroscopic properties. 2 Therefore, a natural clay will consist of a/several clay minerals mixed with additional minerals as impurities. However, the distinction is not always clearly made and many papers that use well-defined clay minerals will refer to them as "clays" because the full denomination is somewhat cumbersome [1].Here we will build on the crystallographic view, which is the most rigorous, and try to indicate how the atomic structure dictates the properties at other levels.The most salient structural feature of clay minerals is that they are layered. That is to say they belong to a large class of inorganic compounds built by the stacking of Rubber-Clay Nanocomposites: Science, Technology, and Applications, First Edition.
