Abstract
Abstract Crystalline hydrous aluminas, Al(OH) 3 , are reacted with LiX, where X is anion, under appropriate conditions to prepare crystalline compounds conforming substantially to the empirical formula LiX.2Al(OH).sub.3.nH.sub.2 O where X is anion and nH 2 O represents waters of hydration. Depending on the beginning hydrous alumina, some of the crystalline compounds are of a novel 2-layer unit cell structure and some of a 3-layer unit cell structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A process whereby crystalline hydrous alumina is converted to crystalline LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, where nH 2 O indicates waters of hydration, and where X indicates anions which will form acids when in molecular combination with hydrogen or will form salts when in molecular combination with metal ions, said process comprising reacting the said alumina with a concentrated solution of LiX at an elevated temperature of at least about 85° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
