Abstract. Layered double hydroxides CuxZn6 − xCr2(OH)16(CO3)·4H2O with different molar ratios of Cu/Zn/Cr were synthesized by accelerated carbonation. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and TG-DTGDSC- MS. The chemical stability was tested by the modified Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The results showed that the products were the mixture of CuxZn6 − …
