Layered double hydroxide (LDH) hybrid materials of Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide-3,4-dichlorophenoxy acetate acidnanocomposites (ZADs) were prepared by direct self-assembly method. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.5 using 2M NaOH. Various Zn2+ to Al3+ molar ratios, R ranging from 1 to 6 were used with a fixed concentration of 3,4-D at 0.3 M. The Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns showed the formation of well-ordered nanocomposite with the expansion of basal spacing from 8.9 Å in the Zinc-Aluminium-Layered Double Hydroxide (ZAL) to 18.7 - 22.1 Å in the resulting nanocomposites. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)spectra for the nanocomposites showed features for both ZAL and ZAD, showing the successful intercalation of the organic moiety into the LDH interlayer. The percentage loading of 3,4-dichlorophenoxy acetati acid(3,4-D) in LDH was found to be increased from 34.7-48.1 % (w/w), as the mole fraction of Al decreased from 0.44-0.15. This study shows that the mole fraction of zinc ion was replaced by aluminium ion in the LDH plays an important role in controlling the physic-chemical properties of the resulting material.

Synthesis of a new hybrid nanocomposite materials, zinc-aluminium-fenoprofen, ZAF was successfully accomplished by self-assembly method with molar ratio of Zn to Al; R=2 at concentration of fenoprofen=0.3 M. As a result of the successful intercalation, the interlayer spacing expanded from 9.8 Å in the zinc-aluminium-layered double hydroxide, ZAL to 20.1 Å in the ZAF hybrid nanocomposite. The FTIR spectra of the ZAF show resemblance peaks of ZAL and fenoprofen indicating the inclusion of the organic compound into the LDH interlamellae. The percentage loading of the guest anion, fenoprofen in ZAL was estimated to be about 63.4% (w/w) calculated from the carbon content.

Batik industry is well known in the East Coast of Malaysia, particularly in Terengganu and Kelantan. This industry consumes a lot of water for the batik making process which contributes to high discharge of wastewater containing excess dye pollutants. Hence, in this study, an anionic clay of nickel/aluminium-layered double hydroxide (NiAL) was investigated as a potential adsorbent for the removal of anionic dye of Eriochrome Black T (EBT). The NiAL was synthesized via self-assembly method and characterization of NiAL was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). The composition and morphology of NiAL was further analyzed using carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur elemental analyzer (CHNS), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The potential of NiAL as an adsorbent for the removal of EBT in aqueous solution was tested at different dosages of NiAL. The adsorption ability was analyzed by using two common adsorption isotherms, which were Langmuir and Freundlich models. The adsorption of EBT onto NiAL was governed by Freundlich isotherm model indicating that the adsorption occurs in heterogeneous system.

Zn-Al-9-hydroxy-9-flourenecarboxylate-layered double hydroxide, ZAF nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by direct self-assembly method with Zn to Al molar ratio, R = 4 and 0.4 M 9-hydroxy-9-flourenecarboxylate, 9H9F. Due to the inclusion of a new anion, 9H9F basal spacing expanded from 8.9 Å in the Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide, ZAL to 13.2 Å in the ZAF. The FTIR spectra of the hybrid nanocomposite show resemblance peaks of the ZAL and 9H9F indicating the inclusion of the organic compound into the LDH interlamellae. The percentage loading of 9H9F was found to be 75.9 % (w/w). Sustained release of 9H9F from ZAF into various aqueous solutions was found to be dependent on the incoming anion, with the percentage saturated release of 94%, 72%, and 15% in sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride aqueous solution 0.0005 M, respectively. This study indicates that ZAL can be used as a host carrier for plant growth regulator, 9H9F with sustained release capability.
