Abstract

Characterization of the textural and structural properties of a sodium form of a delaminated calcic montmorillonite, and of aluminium pillared materials prepared with and without amine pre-adsorption, was made using the adsorption of different probe molecules (nitrogen, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone and 1,1,1-trichloroethane). Due to the delaminated character of the prepared solids, the characterization by X-ray diffraction of the pillared materials was not possible. In this context, the adsorption of probe molecules revealed to be informative since, although the prepared materials were mainly mesoporous solids in consequence of their delaminated nature, when the amine pre-adsorption was used before the pillaring, microporosity was also formed.
