Regulating the physicochemical and catalytic properties of layered aluminosilicates

Basic methods of the introduction of metal ions into the interlayer space of natural layered aluminosilicate (LAS) are considered. The physicochemical and structural properties of pillared LAS's depend on the nature of the cation, as well as on the cation intercalation method and conditions. The catalytic properties and stability of an LAS in acid-catalyzed and oxidation reactions may depend on its textural and physicochemical properties.
