The calcined Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with a Mg/Al molar ratio of 3:1 were synthesized and characterized thoroughly by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CO2, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Thus the calcined Mg-Al LDHs were used as catalyst for the catalytic synthesis of disubstituted ureas from amines and CO2. The effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, pressure, solvent and calcined temperature on activity have been investigated. The results indicated that aliphatic amines, cyclohexylamine and benzylamine can be converted to the corresponding ureas selectively over the calcined Mg-Al LDHs catalysts with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent without using any dehydrating regent. The catalyst can be recycled several times with only slight loss of activity.
