RESUMO

The physico-chemical properties of a series of Ni,Mg,Al-HTLC with Al/(Al+Mg+Ni) = 0.25 and low Ni/Mg ratios were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and thermodifferential (DTA) analysis, N2 physissorption and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The as-synthesized materials were well-crystallized, with XRD patterns typical of the HTLCs in carbonate form. Upon calcination and dehydration the dehydroxilation of the layers with concurrent decomposition of carbonate anions produced mixed oxides with high surface area. XRD analysis indicated that the different nickel and aluminum oxides species are well-dispersed in a poor-crystallized MgO periclase-type phase. As observed by TPR, the different Ni species showed distinct interactions with Mg(Al)O phase, which were influenced by both nickel content and calcination temperature. Regardless of the the nickel content, the reduction of nickel species was not complete as indicated by the presence of metallic dispersions.
