Hydrotalcite hydroxides

Two classes of clays are known [3] (i) cationic clays (or clay minerals) that have negatively charged alumino-silicate layers balanced by small cations in the interlayer space (e.g. K-10 montmorillonite) and (ii) anionic clays which have positively charged brucite-type metal hydroxide layers balanced by anions and water molecules located interstitially (e.g. hydrotalcite, Mg6Al2(0H)igC034H20. 

Thermally activated mixed metal hydroxides, made from naturally occurring minerals, especially hydrotalcites, may contain small or trace amounts of metal impurities besides the magnesium and aluminum components, which are particularly useful for activation [946]. Mixed hydroxides of bivalent and trivalent metals with a three-dimensional spaced-lattice structure of the garnet type (Ca3Al2[OH]i2) have been described [275,1279]. 

Layered metal hydroxides can be categorized into several classes according to their structure (Figure 13.1). Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), which have a hydrotalcite-like structure [27-34], can be expressed as [M2+1 xM3+x(0H)2] (Am )x/m,nH20,... 

We are studying the glycerol transformation in the presence of different catalysts of porous structure such as layered double hydroxides (hydrotalcites, HT and mixed oxides, MO), modified zeolites (ZSM5) and new type of Raney-Ni (RNi) to find optimal conditions for producing valuable components. 

Hydrotalcites are layered double hydroxides with the general formula Mg6Al2(0H)i6[C03].4H20. Loading these compounds with potassium carbonate strongly increases their C02 uptake [25, 35], Notably, the hydrotalcite structure already breaks down below 400 °C [26] into a mixed metal oxide.

A remarkable aspect of the rhenium oxo complex chemistry is the ability of terminal oxo functions to act as nucleophiles. This has been used to incorporate dioxo complexes such as [Re02(py)4] or [Re02(CN)4] between the negatively charged interlayers of silicates like hector-ite (pyridine complex) or between the positive layers of a hydrotalcite-like Mg/Al double hydroxide. " The same concept has been applied for the isolation of molecular units containing Re-O-M bridges where M is a Lewis acid. ... 

There are probably several mineral phases, particularly for the highly alkaline systems, that remain to be discovered. Mixed hydroxides may control solubility. Calcium zincate (CaZn2(OH)6), for example, is thermodynamically more stable than Zn(OH)2 above pH 11.5 and may be important in cementitious systems. Another group of minerals is that of the hydrotalcite-like minerals, the layered double hydroxides (LDH, M2+2M3+l/yXy (OH)6 where X is an anion). Cobalt, Ni and Zn can form such minerals (Johnson Glasser 2003) under neutral to alkaline conditions. For the majority of species, however, solubility-limiting phases do not appear to control dissolved concentrations. 

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), with a hydrotalcite-like structure, are a class of materials which have received considerable attention in the last decade. The structure of LDHs is based on the stacking of metal cation hydroxide (brucite-like) layers, with a positive charge on the layers resulting from the isomorphous substitution of some of the bivalent... 

Hydrotalcite Hydrotalcite (Mg6Al2(C03)(0H)i6 4H20) and other double-layered hydroxide compounds may effectively sorb As(V) from water. Hydrotalcites remove As(V) through sorption and/or exchanges with interlayer anions. The minerals may also be heated (calcinated) until most carbonate anions leave the interlayers. The calcinated hydrotalcites are then placed in water, where the vacant interlayers can sorb anions, including As(V) oxyanions (Yang et al., 2005, 6805). 

However, no leaching effect was observed with hydrotalcites in their hydroxide or mixed carbonate-hydroxide form.[21] Modifications of their basic properties lead to an increase in the selectivity to fructose to nearly 100%, but once again at a glucose conversion lower than 20%.

New developments in the use of silicates to improve flame retardancy have arisen from the use of synthetic anionic clays that correspond to the family of lamellar mixed metal hydroxides, commonly named layered double hydroxides (LDH) or hydrotalcite-like compounds.17... 

A final example of a stereoselective heterogeneous catalytic system is the work of Laycock, Collacott, Skelton and Tchir.17 Layered double hydroxide (LDH) synthetic hydrotalcite materials were used to stereospecifically polymerize propylene oxide [PO] to crystalline isotactic and liquid atactic poly(propyleneoxide) [PPO]. These authors suggest that the LDH surface acts as other inorganic or organometallic coordination initiators or catalysts by providing specific surface orientations for propylene oxide monomer. X-ray powder diffraction showed some loss of crystallinity after calcination and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed an enhancement of Mg/Al content due to restructuring of the Mg and A1 surface atoms. The surface was also rich in Cl ...
