It is possible to say that zeolites are the most widely used catalysts in industry. They are
crystalline microporous materials which have become extremely successful as catalysts for …

Many chemical compositions produce layered solids consisting of extended sheets with
thickness not greater than a few nanometers. The layers are weakly bonded together in a …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

New methods have been developed in recent years that are now being successfully applied
in the preparation of pillared interlayered clays (PILCs). Variations in the procedures …

Zeolites are members of the tectosilicate family of minerals. 1, 2 Zeolite frameworks consist
of 4-foldconnected TO4 tetrahedra (T) Si, Al) forming threedimensional networks. The corner …

This article provides an overview of the advances that have been marked during the last
decades in the field of hydroconversion of high n‐alkanes (C7+) with particular stress on the …

Several methods have been developed and applied in recent years in the characterization
of the structure of microporous materials, in general, and of pillared clays, in particular. In the …

Ni–Ce catalysts supported on mineral clay modified with Al and PVA (polyvinylic alcohol)
were synthesized in the presence of microwave radiation. The effect of the nominal quantity …

Acidity in pillared clays is a broad topic, and one which has been reviewed before [1-3].
Since it is difficult to be exhaustive, the present contribution is divided in two parts. The first …

Hydroisomerization and hydrocracking are widely recognized as versatile reactions. They
allow not only converting feeds of various origin and quality into high-value blendstocks but …
