In a typical procedure, 0.2 g of sodium alginate was mixed with 30 mL of ultrapure water in a 100 mL beaker with constant magnetic stirring. One gram of the prepared Mg/Al LDH was added to the solution and mixed for 2 h at 25 °C. The solution was subsequently added dropwise to a 250 mL beaker containing 100 mL of 0.3 mol/L Ca(NO3)2·6H2O to produce hydrogel beads (LB). The prepared beads were stirred for 10 min, filtered, washed with ultrapure water, and then dried in a freeze dryer for 24 h.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
