Abstract

Natural cationic layered clays—vermiculite and phlogopite—pretreated with acids were intercalated with alumina pillars. In next step, transition metals were deposited on the surface of pillared interlayer clays (PILC) by a liquid ion exchange method. The catalyst samples were characterized with respect to: composition (EPMA), structure (XRD), texture (BET), surface acidity (NH3-TPD) and coordination of deposited transition metals (UV–vis-DRS). The modified clays were tested in the role of catalyst for the selective oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen. In a series of the studied samples the best catalytic performance presented alumina pillared vermiculite modified with copper.
