The causticization behaviour of Na 2 CO 3 with rock‐salt type oxide, Mg 2(1‐ x /(2+ x ) O (M = Al 3+ and Fe 3+ , x = 0.2 and 0.33), produced by the thermal decomposition of hydrotalcite‐like layered double hydroxide was investigated at 30–60°C. The degree of causticization increased with increasing the molar ratio of [rock‐salt type oxide]/[Na 2 CO 3 ] and increasing the temperature but decreased with increasing the initial concentration of Na 2 CO 3 . The causticization behaviour could be adequately described by the equation of anion exchange equilibria between CO 3 2‐ and OH − for layered double hydroxide.
