Pt. Sindhu et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALUMINA PILLARED MONTMORILLONITE CATALYSTS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 35(2), 1996, pp. 163-165
Alumina pillared montmorillonite with basal spacing 19A has been prepa
red and characterised by XRD, TGA, DTA and titrimetric methods. The d-
spacing and thermal stability of the clay increase by pillaring and ba
sic sites appear on the clay sample. The catalytic activity of the pil
lared clay is compared to acid treated clay in the isomerization of ()-limonene oxide.
