| Summary: | Infectious diseases in the modern world pose a significant threat to humanity in the form of epidemics and pandemics. To prevent and combat them, it is necessary to carry out antiseptic and disinfectant treatments of various environments, household and industrial surfaces, as well as wounds of various origins. Double-layer hydroxides intercalated with peroxyanions as active oxygen compounds are promising materials for this. In order to determine the possibility of obtaining Zn-Al double-layer hydroxide intercalated with peroxylactic acid anions, samples were synthesized by the method of chemical co-precipitation in the presence of peroxylactic acid at controlled pH (8, 10) and t=20 ℃. The properties of the synthesized samples were investigated. The content of active oxygen (in terms of H2O2) was determined by the method of iodometric titration with the calculation of the percentage of hydrogen peroxide that was intercalated in double layered hydroxides, remained in the mother solution or was lost. The crystal structure was studied by X-ray phase analysis, the yield of samples was determined gravimetrically, and sedimentation was determined by measuring and normalizing the thickness of the sediment layer. It was found that the samples synthesized at pH=8 and 10 are biphasic and consist of an oxide phase and a double-layer hydroxide phase. The determined content of active oxygen (in terms of H2O2) in the samples synthesized at pH=8 (0.533 %) and at pH=10 (0.876 %) confirms the success of the synthesis of Zn-Al-peroxylactate double layered hydroxides. Synthesis at elevated pH is promising. A low percentage of H2O2 intercalation was revealed – 4.03–6.54 %, the majority of hydrogen peroxide (82.36–94.44 %) remains in the mother solution. The yield of the synthesized samples was determined to be 61.9 % and 79.5 % at synthesis pH of 10 and 8, respectively. The sedimentation properties of the samples were studied and their improvement was shown when the pH of the synthesis was increased Copyright © 2024, Authors.
