The ultrasound technique was applied to the synthesis of layered double hydroxides. The use of ultrasound in the synthesis of these compounds was studied in terms of its effect on their crystal qualities and surface properties. The crystal qualities of the compounds synthesized with ultrasound were compared with those of compounds synthesized without ultrasound to elucidate the effect of the ultrasound on the synthesis. The effect of crystal quality (crystallite size) on the adsorption behavior of humic substances was examined. The compounds synthesized under ultrasonic conditions showed a larger crystallite size and a larger adsorption capacity for humic substances than those synthesized without ultrasonic treatment. The degree of adsorption correlated well with crystal quality.

Key Words: Crystal Quality • Humic Acids • Hydrotalcite • Layered Double Hydroxide • Pyroaurite • Synthesis • Ultrasound • Water Treatment
