Abstract: Glyphosate intercalated magnesium aluminum layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDH-gly), a novel controlled-releasing herbicide formulation, was synthesized by using a new method involving separate nucleation and aging steps developed in our lab, and characterized by XRD and IR spectroscopy. First of all, the release property of MgAl-LDH-gly was studied in pure H2O and Na2CO3 solution, respectively. Furthermore, its release behavior was studied in phosphate buffer solutions with different pH values and in mixed inorganic anions solution in order to investigate the influence of environmental factors. The results indicate that the release of MgAl-LDH-gly is actually an anions exchange process, and the primitive release process accords with the first-order kinetics equation. It is shown that MgAl-LDH-gly can be used more effectively in weak alkali or neutral environment than in weak acid environment. The quantity of released gly is decided by the whole concentration of inorganic anions in solution in our experimental range.
