Abstract
In this work, we present the synthesis, at different zirconia/clay ratios, of zirconia-pillared montmorillonite in presence of microwave irradiation. The effect of irradiation time (5, 10, 20 and 30 min) on the structure and properties of the solids was also studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption (BET surface area) and thermo-programmed desorption of ammonia. It is shown that the irradiation time is critical between 5 and 10 min. For times longer than 10 min, no effect on the pillared clay features is observed.
