title: Boosted CO2 reaction with methanol to yield dimethyl carbonate over Mg-Al hydrotalcite-silica lyogels.
abstract: Nonimmobilized and immobilized Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like materials on silica lyogels were prepared and activated by calcination to be tested as catalysts in the direct carboxylation reaction of methanol. The HTs supported on silica lyogels showed an important improvement and high stability in the direct synthesis reaction of DMC from CO2 and MeOH.
