Abstract

The hydrotalcite like compound Cu0. 13Mg0. 6A10. 27(OH)2(CO3)0. 135 · xH2O (CuHTlc) are synthesized by coprecipitation method and are characterized by XRD, DTA-TG, BET, TEM and 27Al MAS NMR. The results show that at relatively low calcination temperatures (below 300°C), the layer structure of CuHTlc is retained, although partial dehydroxylation in addition to dehydration occurs. At 500°C, the hydrotalcite structure is destroyed and MgO phase appears, the spinel phase forms with the further increase of calcination temperature. CuHTlc calcined at 500°C has the highest surface area (193m2 · g-1). When CuHTlc are calcined above 500°C, the composition of resusting products is Cu0. 13Mg0. 6Al0. 27O0. 135, the equation of thermal decoposition of CuHTlc can be expressed as following: Cu0. 13Mg0. 6Al0. 27(OH)2(CO3)0. 135 · xH2O → Cu0. 13Mg0. 6Al0. 27O0. 135 + (1 + x)H2O + 0. 135CO2.
