Abstract

Abstract Crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, preferably supported by a porous substrate, is prepared by treating crystalline 2-layer LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, where X is anion, with a LiOH solution or other hydroxide ion source. The so-formed crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O is particularly suitable for exchange of the OH ion with larger X' ions to produce other crystalline 2-layer LiX'.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 69 words
A process for preparing crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, said process comprising contacting crystalline 2-layer LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with an aqueous solution of LiOH, or other hydroxide ion source, at a temperature in the range of about 15° C. to about 70° C., where X is halide, thereby exchanging OH - ions for X - ions and forming crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 69 words
A process for preparing crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, said process comprising contacting crystalline 2-layer LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with an aqueous solution of LiOH, or other hydroxide ion source, at a temperature in the range of about 15° C. to about 70° C., where X is halide, thereby exchanging OH - ions for X - ions and forming crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of the LiOH solution, or other hydroxide ion source, is in the range of about 5% to about saturation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 89 words
A process for replacing the X anion of crystalline 2-layer LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with a larger anion, X', said process comprising reacting the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with LiOH, or other hydroxide ion source, at a temperature in the range of about 0° C. to about 100° C., thereby forming crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, and reacting the so-formed LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with an acid or salt form of the larger X' anion, thereby forming crystalline 2-layer LiX'.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 89 words
A process for replacing the X anion of crystalline 2-layer LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with a larger anion, X', said process comprising reacting the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with LiOH, or other hydroxide ion source, at a temperature in the range of about 0° C. to about 100° C., thereby forming crystalline 2-layer LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O, and reacting the so-formed LiOH.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O with an acid or salt form of the larger X' anion, thereby forming crystalline 2-layer LiX'.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 82 words
The process of claim 3 where the X anion is at least one of the group comprising chloride, bromide, and iodide and the X' anion is at least one of the group comprising NO 3 - , H 2 PO 4 - , HPO 4 -2 , PO 4 -3 , HCOO - , CClH 2 COO - , CCl 2 HCOO - , CCL 3 COO - , CH 2 CHCOO - , and C 6 H 5 O - .
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the concentration of the LiOH solution, or other hydroxide ion source, is in the range of about 5% to about saturation and the temperature is in the range of about 15° C. to about 70° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O is supported by a substrate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O is supported within the pores of a porous substrate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 23 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O is supported within the pores of a macroporous ion exchange resin.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 35 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the LiX.2Al(OH) 3 .nH 2 O is supported within the pores of a macroporous beads comprising a copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene having pendant amine or quaternary ammonium groups.
