Modification of bentonite by the Al/Fe metal oxide pillarization process was carried out with metal oxides. The bentonite pillars were successfully characterized using an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrophotometer. The results of XRD characterization showed the peak diffraction angle (2θ) in metal-pillared bentonite was 26.84° at 698.98 cps. Meanwhile, in thermally and chemically activated bentonite, the peak angles were marked at 20.64° and 26.7°. There is a shift in the peak angle after activation and pillarization. XRD patterns showed dioctahedral smectite and quartz accessory minerals.
In the last few years, cationic layered clays, including bentonites have been investigated as potentialcatalysts for SCR DeNOxsystems. In this work, bentonite as the representative of layered clays wasmodified in order to obtain an alternative, low-cost NH3–SCR catalyst. Samples of raw clay wereactivated with HCl or HNO3, treated with C2H2O4and subsequently pillared with alumina by the ion-exchange. Afterwards, the modified materials were impregnated with iron and copper. The obtainedcatalysts were characterized by XRD and FT-IR. SCR catalytic tests carried out over analyzed samplesindicated the conversion of NO of approximately 90% for the most active sample. The type of acidused for modification and the type of active phase strongly influenced the catalytic properties of theanalyzed materials.
