New article released

This January, the part of our group focusing on aldol condensation published a new article in Applied Catalysis A. MgAl-hydrotalcites (HTCs) are widely used as basic heterogeneous catalysts in aldol condensation. Their calcination followed by rehydration increases their basicity and catalytic activity. In the current article, we described in detail the effect of repetitive “calcination-rehydration” treatments on the properties and catalytic performance of MgAl HTCs with dependence on the rehydration conditions and the number of repeated calcination-rehydration cycles.  Enjoy your reading.
