    Notes: Abstract Fillared clays have become a well known class of porous materials. Due to the versatile porosity they seem to be complementary to zeolites and can be very useful for adsorption and catalytic processes. Despite intensive research, real industrial applications are still lacking. Somehow, the porosity of these pillared clays is not what was expected. The present study reports theoretical calculations, based on simple geometrical models in combination with experimental data, in order to obtain a better insight in the PILC structure and its limiting factors. Parameters such as interpillar free distance and maximum micropore volume were calculated and compared to experimental or literature data. The final goal is to find out the potential of pillared clays as adsorbents to be used as substituents or complements for zeolites. This part reports calculations, in terms of microporosity, performed for two types of pillared clays having completely different porosity properties: Al- and Ti-PILC.

    Notes: Abstract As a new class of porous materials, pillared clays have been more and more investigated as a potential substituent or complement to zeolite materials. Despite of intensive research, real industrial applications are still lacking. Somehow, the porosity of these materials is lower than what was expected. To evaluate the potential of the pillared clays as adsorbent, theoretical calculations were carried out to obtain a better insight of the influence of the PILC's macrostructure on the micro- and mesoporosity. Assuming the layers to stack in a 3-dimensional brick-like fashion, the micro- and mesoporosity and interpillar free distance were calculated taking into account: the clay layer dimensions, interlayer free spacing, lateral distance between adjacent layers, partial pillaring/collapse and pillar symmetry. The calculations were performed for Al-pillared montmorillonite and hectorite and validated with experimental results.

    Notes: Abstract Pillared Clays are proposed as a new class of sorbents with properties which exceed those of zeolites. However, despite of intense research, the materials are still not used as substituents of zeolites. By the present study a better understanding of the potential and limiting factors of pillared clays is achieved by means of geometric models. These models take into account interlayer distance, pillar symmetry, collapse, partial pillaring, layer size and layer stacking. The results are evaluated on microporosity and interpillar distance and compared to experimental data. Because of the important contribution of mesopores to the pore volume of PILCs, a macrostructure in which the experimental mesopore volume has been approximated, is proposed. This paper reports the evaluation of two Al-pillared hectorites, natural and synthetic (laponite), having completely different macrostructures.

    Notes: Abstract Pillared clays are proposed as a new class of sorbents with properties similar to zeolites. However, despite extensive research, zeolites have not yet been replaced by pillared clays for industrial applications. In the present study a better understanding of the potential and limiting factors of Fe and mixed Fe-Zr pillared clays is focused by theoretical modelling calculations including interlayer distance, pillar symmetry, collapse and partial pillaring. The results are evaluated on microporosity and interpillar distance and are compared to experimental data.
