Suspend the bomb by a wire or a metal rod through F. Fill with water the annular space between the pillar F and the hole in the top of H. Now heat the base of A with a pointed flame, e.., from a blowpipe pointing upwards. The time required for heating in this way is usually about i minute, but an ordinary Bunsen flame, used without concentration on the bottom of A, may require about 4 minutes. The... 

Pillared clays are smectite minerals or iUite-smectite minerals that have been stmcturaHy modified to contain pillars of stable inorganic oxide. The pillars prop open the smectite stmcture so they have a basal space of approximately 3.0 nm. Typical metals in the pillars include Al, Zr, Ti, Ce, and Fe, and these materials are used in catalytic processes to crack heavy cmde oils (110—112). 

Quadraxially oriented (four directional layer) glass fabric-TS vinyl ester polyester RP sheet panels with a foam core and gel coating are used. Most of the panels are 3 mm thick with molded-in rib structure supports. Body skins are bonded to the chassis with a double-stick acrylic tape developed by 3M Co. as well as mechanical fasteners. Unlike most steel designs, no B-pillar structural component between the front and rear doors is required thus providing more interior space and easy entry since doors open in opposite directions. 

The original epoxidation with titanium-tartrate is homogeneous, but it can be carried out heterogeneously without diminishing enantioselectivity by using titanium-pillared montmorillonite catalyst (Ti-PILC) prepared from titanium isopropoxide, (+)-DAT, and Na+-montmorillonite.38 Due to the limited spacing of Ti-PILC, the epoxidation becomes slower as the allylic alcohol gets bulkier.

General procedures for the preparation of pillared clays are schematically illustrated in Fig. 1. The first and most important reaction for the introduction of pillars is ion-exchange the hydrated interlayer cations of montmorillo-nite are exchanged with precursory polynuclear metal hydroxy cations. After the ion-exchange, the montmorilIonite is separated by centrifugation and washed with water several times to remove excess hydroxy ions. The interlayered hydroxy cations are then converted into the respective oxide pillars by calcination. The precursors developed so far and the interlayer spacings of their... 

Most of the pillared structures are thermally stable up to about 500°C, and keep the specific surface area as large as 300-500 m /g. The bismuth [11] and the chromium oxides pillared clays collapse on heating to 300°C, the pillars being removed out of the interlayer spaces, although the chromium oxide with a larger basal spacing of 21 A is more thermally stable in a nitrogen atmosphere [10]. 

The acidic properties of alumina pillared clays have been extensively studied from the interest in using the pillared clays as cracking catalysts [21-24]. Sakurai et al. [25] studied the acidic properties of the alumina pillared clays with different kinds of silicate layers and concluded that the alumina pillars between the silicate layers did not have any acidity and that the role played by the pillars was only to make the original acidity of the silicate interlayers more easily accessible through opening the interlayer spaces. 

The same evolution of the basal spacing (d 001) for the pillared montmorillonite in which the Li has been introduced after the Zr is illustrated in fig. 5. It has to be mentioed that, after saturation of the solids by ethylene glycol, the interlayer distance of the samples calcined at 400°C is always slightly higher than before saturation. 

A small increase of the (d 001) basal spacing is observed for the Li containing Zr pillared clays. However, the thermal stability of these solids drastically decrease. At high temperature, the collapse of the strucutre is also supported by the decrease of the surface area which is, at 700°C, almost identical to those measured for the montmorillonite. Different hypothesis may be proposed to explain the increase of the interlayer distance at low temperature (i) a better polymerization of the intercalated complex (ii) a modification of the distribution of the pillars (iii) a lower interaction between the pillar and the silica layer. The first hypothesis may easily be eliminated since the small variation of the height of the pillars (less than 1 A) cannot be explained by structural changes of the... 

A quartz-free nontronite sample (6) was expanded by reacting a slurry containing 0.0075 g clay/g water with an excess of ChlorhydrolA pillared product was obtained that after drying at -100 C had a d(OOl) spacing of 19.4A. Calcination in air at 400 C/10h reduced the d(OOl) value to 16.9A the calcined ACH-Nontronite had BET surface area of 310 m /g and contained 31.9% FegOj. All powder diffraction measurements were obtained with a Siemens D-500 diffractometer at a scan of r/min using monochromatic Cu-Ka radiation. 

Catalytic evaluation of the different pillared clays was performed using a microactivity test (MAT) and conditions described in detail elsewhere (5). The weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) was 14-15 the reactor temperature was 510 C. A catalyst-to-oil ratio of 3.5-3.8 was used. The chargestock s slurry oil (S.O., b.p. >354 C), light cycle oil (LCGO, 232 C < b.p. <354 C) and gasoline content were 62.7 vol%, 33.1 vol% and 4.2 vol% respectively. Conversions were on a vol% fresh feed (FF) basis and were defined as [VfVp/V ] x 100, where is the volume of feed...
