  • Patent number: 9475705
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the synthesis technology field of inorganic functional materials, and particularly provides a self-balanced high-pressure and high-shear autoclave and its application in the preparation of layered double hydroxides (LDHs). In this invention, by imbedding the handpiece of emulsification mill into the autoclave, and by taking the motor driving system outside of the autoclave, the pressure of the autoclave can be highly stable by the use of self-balanced seal gland. These characters solve the problem that the typical emulsification mill cannot be used in high-pressure system, and ensure the crystallization under the high-pressure and high-shear conditions. Such autoclave takes the advantages of additional equipment, and eliminates the volume effect in the amplification process. By the use of this new autoclave, the reaction time can be shorten from 24 hours to 2-6 hours, the reaction temperature can be reduced from 180° C. to 140° C.

  • Patent number: 8652994
    Abstract: A process for preparing supported noble metal catalyst in situ is provided by mixing and crystallizing hexamethylenetetramine, soluble divalent metal salts solution, Al2O3 carriers and soluble noble metal salts solution wherein the hexamethylenetetramine is used as a precipitating agent for preparing hydrotalcite and a reducing agent of noble metal precursor. During the growth process of hydrotalcite, Al3+ on the Al2O3 carrier's surface is directly used as the trivalent metal ions in the laminate structure and the hydrotalcite is obtained on the surface of the Al2O3 carriers by in-situ growth. A supported catalyst Me-LDHs-Al2O3 containing an elementary noble metal is produced wherein the noble metal element particle in the catalyst has a particle size of 10 to 60 nm, and is evenly and stably dispersed on or between slabs of the hydrotalcite.

  • Patent number: 8088349
    Abstract: Disclosed is a clean method for preparing layered double hydroxides (LDHs), in which hydroxides of different metals are used as starting materials for production of LDHs by atom-economical reactions. The atom efficiency of the reaction is 100% in each case because all the atoms of the reactants are converted into the target product since only M2+(OH)2, M3+(OH)3, and CO2 or HnAn? are used, without any NaOH or other materials. Since there is no by-product, filtration or washing process is unnecessary. The consequent reduction in water consumption is also beneficial to the environment.
