The layered double hydroxide Mg 6Al 2(CO 3)(OH) 16·4H 2O has been prepared using aqueous sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Samples have been washed to varying degrees and then calcined to form the mixed oxides. Entrained sodium concentrations have been measured in all samples and compared with...
