Metal oxide pillared clay (PILC) possesses several interesting properties, such as large
surface area, high pore volume and tunable pore size (from micropore to mesopore), high …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

This chapter makes a general overview of pillared clay minerals. First, the general concepts

Mycotoxin, as one of the most common pollutants in animal feeds, is harmful and
widespread, which has severely restricted the healthy development of livestock and feed …

Clay pillared with Fe-Al was synthesized as a catalyst for Fenton oxidation of phenol by
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The pillaring process altered the basal space of clay, which is …

Four kinds of pillared montmorillonites were prepared by intercalating poly-hydroxyl iron,
poly-hydroxyl iron/zirconium with different Fe/Zr molar ratios (4/1, 1/1) and poly-hydroxyl …

The catalytic cracking of polyethylene has been studied over two natural clays and their
pillared analogues with a view toward assessing their suitability in a process for recycling …

Al–Fe or Al–Cu modified clays were prepared from two natural montmorillonites and
employed in the phenol oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in water. The samples were …

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the vast volume of literature on (cationic) clay
minerals that has accumulated over the past 30 years. A lot of fundamental work was …
