CATIONIC EFFECTS ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF HYDROTALCITE

Hydrotalcites have been attracting a lot of interest from the researchers because of
their wide possible applicants such CO2 absorbent, ion exchangers, fire retardants,
base catalysts and precursors for well-mixed oxides for various catalytic
applications. When hydrotalcites are synthesized in different conditions, they can
present different morphologies. The purpose of the research is to study the
morphology differences of hydrotalcite which associate them with their optimum
potential applications.
The first chapter will give a brief introduction on the background of the project.
Besides, the problem statement of this project will be stated to address the main
purpose and significance of conducting this research project. Apart from that, the
objective of this research project and also the scope of study will also be highlighted
in the following chapter.
A detailed literature review will be discussed in the following chapter. In this
chapter, the concept and basic understanding of the project is shown. This chapter is
will highlight what is hydrotalcite is and how it is formed.
Finally in the last chapter, the research methodology, the experimental approach and
procedures as well as the key milestones will be presented.
