Intercalation vs Adsorption Strategies of Myo-Inositol Hexakisphosphate into Zn-Fe Layered Double Hydroxide: A Tiff between Anion Exchange and Coprecipitation.

ABSTRACT: Myo-inositol hexakisphosphates (IHPs) or phytates are the most abundant organic phosphates having the potential to serve as a phosphorus reserve in soil. Understanding the fate of IHP interaction with soil minerals tends to be crucial for its efficient storage and utilization as a slow-release organic phosphate fertilizer. We have systematically compared the effective intercalation strategy of a phytate onto Zn-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) acting as storage/carrier material through coprecipitation and anion exchange. Powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR spectra, and molecular modeling demonstrated the formation of phytate-intercalated Zn-Fe LDH through coprecipitation with a maximum loading of 41.34% (w/w) in
