3 and 2) were prepared using a homogenous precipitation method by urea hydrolysis. The
preparation was performed at various temperatures (70–100° C). The element chemical
analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectra show that urea
species and cyanate anions are the main anions intercalated at low temperature and low
Zn/Al ratios. This was confirmed by pH curves recorded during the reaction, thermal …
