A simple, easily applicable method is proposed to quantify the amount of ZnO segregated during synthesis and post-synthesis treatments of Zn-Al layered double hydroxides with the hydrotalcite structure. The method provides a feasible, easy, fast, and reliable way to get values for ZnO content, and the method can be extended to other compounds.
