In this study, anionic surfactant and silane-modified hydrotalcites were synthesized through a soft chemical in situ method. The resulting materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution thermogravimetric analysis (HRTG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and N-2 adsorption-desorption. The Mg-Al hydrotalcite (LDH) and the only surfactant-modified hydrotalcite (LDH-2) display similar XRD patterns while both surfactant and silane-modified hydrotalcite (LDH-3) show two distinct series of reflections, corresponding to hydrotalcite and smectite-like materials, respectively. The smectite-like materials show a series of regular (001) reflections with d(001) = 12.58 angstrom. Further supporting evidence was obtained from FTIR and TG, for example, the vibration at 1198 cm(-1) corresponds to Si-O-Si-stretching mode and the mass loss at ca. 861 degrees C to dehydroxylation. In LDH-2, the loaded surfactants are located in both the interlayer space and the interparticle pores with a house of cards structure as supported by FTIR, TG, and N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. Both electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) micrographs and N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms show that in situ modification with surfactant and silane has a significant influence on the morphology and porous parameters of the resulting hydrotalcite materials.
