Abstract
The preparation and characterization of Ti-pillared acid-activated cla ys (designated Ti PAACs) and conventional Ti-pillared clays (designate d Ti PILCs) are described. preliminary catalytic results show that the se materials possess remarkably enhanced abilities to catalyse the deh ydration of pentanol compared with their Al counterparts (in excess of 200% in the case of the PILCs and up to 82% for the PAACs). These act ivities approach those previously reported for non-pillared acid-activ ated clays.
