Abstract

Hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlcs) can be used as the catalysts as it is since they contain various transition metal cations as the catalytically active species well dispersed on the basic support materials. Moreover, increasing numbers of the applications of HTlcs after the heat treatment have been found since the oxides with very small crystal size, stable to thermal treatments, are obtained after the calcination. The oxides possess interesting properties such as high surface area, basic properties and further form small and thermally stable metal crystallites by reduction. Moreover, the calcined oxides show a unique property, i.e., “memory effect,” which allows the reconstitution of the original hydrotalcite structure. We have developed the catalytic applications of hydrotalcites as it is and moreover the mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcites for various catalytic reactions, i.e., oxidation, dehydrogenation and reforming of hydrocarbons, and even for the reforming of methanol and the CO shift reaction. Aerobic oxidation of alcohols, Baeyer−Villiger oxidation of ketones and O3 oxidation of oxalic acid have been successfully carried out with the Mg−Al hydrotalcites containing Ni, Fe and Cu, respectively, as the catalysts in liquid phase. In the O3 oxidation of oxalic acid, the catalytic activity was enhanced by the “memory effect,” i.e., Mg(Cu)–Al hydrotaclite was reconstituted on the surface of Mg(Cu,Al)O periclase particles and oxalic acid was incorporated as anions in the hydrotalcite layer, resulting in an enhanced oxidation of oxalic acid. As the catalysts in the vapor phase reactions, Mg/Fe/Al mixed oxides prepared from Mg–Al(Fe) hydrotalcites and effectively catalyzed the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. Supported Ni metal catalysts have been prepared from Mg(Ni)–Al hydrotalcites and successfully used in the steam reforming and the oxidative reforming of methane and propane. Moreover, the Ni catalysts have been improved by combining a trace amount of noble metals by adopting the “memory effect” and used in the production of hydrogen for the PEFC under the daily startup and shutdown operation. Also starting from aurichalcite or hydrotalcite precursor as the precursor, Cu/Zn/Al catalysts with high Cu metal surface area have been prepared and successfully applied in the steam reforming of methanol and dimethyl ether, and moreover in the CO shift reaction.
