Influence of Y on the performance of Mg-Al-Y catalysts via hydrotalcite-like precursors for the synthesis of diethyl carbonate from ethyl carbamate and ethanol

A series of Mg-Al-Y mixed oxides (CHT-Y) with different Y3+:(Al3++Y3+) atomic ratios were obtained by thermal decomposition of Y-containing hydrotalcite-like compounds. Then, they were characterized using XRD, TGA, XPS, SEM, ICP, CO2-TPD and N2 adsorption-desorption measurement. Meanwhile, all the m...
