Hydrotalcite is an inorganic compound that is classified as a layered double hydroxide mineral made up of mainly magnesium and aluminium hydroxides. Its layered structure results in its unique properties that make it useful in many applications. It is used in petrochemicals, plastics and polymers, pharmaceuticals and personal care, coatings and paints industries, and also in several environmental applications. It is used as a catalyst in the petrochemical industry and processes like CO2 capture and conversion.

It works as a thermal stabilizer in PVC production, making it resistant to thermal degradation, and as a flame retardant in polymers. It is utilized in pharmaceuticals as a carrier for controlled drug release and in the personal care industry as a stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. Hydrotalcite is used as an additive in coatings and paints to improve their durability and performance. Its environmental applications it is used for the removal of contaminants from wastewater and polluted soils.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Hydrotalcite manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Hydrotalcite manufacturing.

• By Co-precipitation Method: The feedstock for this process includes Magnesium Nitrate, Aluminium Nitrate, and Sodium Hydroxide.

The co-precipitation process for the manufacturing of hydrotalcite involves several steps. First, solutions of magnesium nitrate and aluminum nitrate are prepared along with an alkali source like sodium hydroxide. After that, these solutions are mixed under stirring and the pH is adjusted to a range of 9 to 11 that promotes precipitation. The temperature is maintained between 60-80 °C during this process. The increasing pH results in the precipitation of Hydrotalcite, and the mixture is kept for aging for several hours to promote crystallite growth. After aging, the precipitate is filtered, washed, and dried to the final product.
