Preparation And Characterization Of Hydroxy Ni-Al Pillared Montmorillonite As A New Type Catalyst

Pillared montmorillonite(PILM), as a representative of Sandwich like pillared interlayered clays ,caught many scientist's attention not only because of its special structure of two-dimensional sheets but also its excellent activity of catalysis and adsorption. It is well documented that the method to prepare PILM, ion-exchanging, needed a long periods and was affected by many factors, and that the product had low thermal stability especially hydro-thermal stability which was the primary obstruction of its using in large-scale production. At the same time, PILM was well documented prepared with Na-montmorillonite, while there were a few documents about PILM prepared with Ca-montmorillonite. The large cost of remodel of Ca-montmorillonite to Na-montmorillonite was another obstacle of the application of PILM, while Ca-montmorillonite was widely distributed in nature, as a result, to prepare PILM with Ca-montmorillonite has practical significance. What's more, PILM was mainly studied as a catalyst in oil refining process till now, but rarely documented in other catalysis reactions, especially in coal liquification filed which also needed high activity catalyst. it would take part in an important role in economics if it should be applied in coal transformation. In this dissertation , Physical and chemical properties of raw material was studied first, then sodium model-modification of it was researched. Next, preparation of FILM in traditional process using montmorillonite after model-modification was in research. After that, we studied the preparation of PILM in hydrothermal process using montmorillonite without being model-modified. Finally, products in experiments were characterized and Analyzed by XRD, IR, DTA.
