Abstract

The preparation and characterization of Ti-pillared acid-activated clays (designated Ti PAACs) and conventional Ti-pillared clays (designated Ti PILCs) are described. Preliminary catalytic results show that these materials possess remarkably enhanced abilities to catalyse the dehydration 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 activities approach those previously reported for non-pillared acid-activated clays.
