The samples of non-sodium nickel hydroxycarbonate for nanosized catalysts have been obtained and investigated. The ratio of crystalline water, the amount of nickel hydroxide and carbonate has been calculated. By the X-ray analysis of obtained nickel oxide the crystallite size of 12–13 nm has been determined. The samples of catalysts provided a high specific surface.
The effect of the kind, concentration and introduction method of polymeric modifiers (polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone), as well as the kind of metal chloride on the physico-chemical regularities of the obtaining process of modified metal-containing polymer-silicate materials, their morphology and properties has been examined. Using instrumental methods of investigations it was established that obtaining of metal-containing polymer-silicate materials was accompanied by intermolecular interactions between active silicate groups and functional groups of a polymeric modifier.
