“…As shown in Figure 2, the peaks of the original LDH (Figure 2a) Figure 2a shows characteristics of LDHs, featuring sharp and symmetric reflections for the (003), (006), (110), and (113) planes, and asymmetric peaks for the (012), (015), and (018) planes. [20] The XRD patterns of the original LDH can be assigned to the Mg-Al LDH (Mg 4 Al 2 (OH) 12 CO 3 • 3H 2 O, JCPDS 51-1525). The basal spacing (d 003 ) of the original Mg-Al LDH is 770 pm which is close to values reported by Pode et al [21] After H 2 S sorption, XRD patterns of the H 2 S-loaded LDH at 20 8C (Figure 2b) showed no significant change, implying that H 2 S sorption on the Mg-Al LDH may be a physical sorption.…”
