Abstract
Microwave irradiation has been used to synthesize intercalated clays d uring the intercalation reaction. The obtained montmorillonites, when compared to conventionally prepared clays, presented a higher surface area (340 m(2) g cf. 244 m(2) g(-1)). This method presents the advanta ge of reducing the synthesis time and the possibility of handling high ly concentrated clay suspensions and intercalating solutions.
