In situ kinetics studies of Zn-Al LDH intercalation with corrosion related species


Abstract in English

Kinetics parameters for three anion exchange reactions - Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-Cl, Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-SO4 and Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-VOx - were obtained by in situ synchrotron study. The first and the second ones are two-stage reactions; the first stage is characterized by the two-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction following deceleratory nucleation and the second stage is a one-dimensional diffusion-controlled reaction also with a decelerator nucleation effect. In the case of exchange NO3 - Cl host anions are completely released, while in the case of NO3 - SO42 the reaction ends without complete release of nitrate anions. The exchange of Zn-LDH-NO3 - Zn-LDH-VOx is one-stage reaction and goes much slower than the previous two cases. It is characterized by a one stage two-dimensional reaction and nucleation considered to be instantaneous in this case. As a result, at the end of this process there are two crystalline phases with different polyvanadate species, presumably V4O124 and V2O74, nitrate anions were not completely released. The rate of replacing NO3 anions by guest ones can be represented as Cl > SO42 > VOxy.
