Abstract
Hydrotalcites (crystalline mixed oxides of magnesium and aluminum) wer e synthesized by the sol-gel method at pH 10. The magnesium source was magnesium ethoxide and the aluminum precursors were aluminum nitrate, aluminum chlorate or aluminum sulfate. The resulting solids were char acterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analysis (DTA-TG A). It was found that thermal stability depended strongly on aluminum precursor in the following sequence: aluminum chloride > aluminum nitr ate > aluminum sulfate.
