Several methods have been developed and applied in recent years in the characterization
of the structure of microporous materials, in general, and of pillared clays, in particular. In the …

The structural modifications and the Bronsted acid sites generated during the acid treatment
of montmorillonite clay with varied concentration of sulphuric acid was determined using FT …

The surface acidity of different modified montmorillonite clay catalysts, Al3+-exchanged
montmorillonite (Al3+-Mont) and aluminium pillared montmorillonite (Al-PILC) was …

The adsorption phenomenon has been used extensively to achieve and explain solid-state
reactions, control contamination, and purify liquids and gases. This process implies the use …

TiO2 pillared montmorillonite (PILM) was synthesized by hydrolyzing TiO2 sol into the
interlayers of montmorillonite (MMT) at low temperatures. It is novel that all the as-prepared …

Titania pillared clays are prepared through a novel method using titania sol via colloidal
route as the pillaring agent. Formation of pillared clay (PILC) is proved from the physico …

Acidity in pillared clays is a broad topic, and one which has been reviewed before [1-3].
Since it is difficult to be exhaustive, the present contribution is divided in two parts. The first …

The surface acidity of montmorillonite treated by conventional hydrothermal reaction with
acids as well as ultrasonic-and microwave-assisted acid digestion was studied using diffuse …

Currently, it remains a great challenge to maintain clay stability in water and prevent shear
dispersion of the clay lamellae. Herein, a series of piperazine-based polyether Gemini …

Two samples of heterogeneous catalysts were prepared by impregnating a raw-clay, a
montmorillonite-rich material, with iron oxides, in order to be used in oxidative reactions of …
