Study on the Preparation and Amplification Experiment of Al-Pillared Montmorillonite

Abstract:

A method of preparation and pilot scale production of Al-pillared montmorillonite has been developed. There is a minimum of time and amount of liquid. And it is simpler to operate than the conventional method of pillaring by using the commercial aluminium hydroxychloride(PAC) powder as the pillaring agent. Here, the effect of the major factors such as the mass ratio of PAC to montmorillonite, the concentration of montmorillonite slurry, the sodium agent pretreatment, washing times and drying temperature on the Al-pillared montmorillonite are studied. Then the optimal technical parameters is determined. XRD, BET surface area and micropore volume are applied in order to study the structure and properties of Al-pillared montmorillonite. As a result, the amplification experiment under the optimum conditions shows that this method offers the potential for extension to an industrial-scale process.
