Abstract

The Objective of our study is the valorization of clay of the western ‎region of Algeria. The experimental study is the preparation and ‎characterization of Antimony pillared materials using SbCl3 ‎solution as pillaring agent. The synthesis of pillared clay was ‎characterized by different techniques namely (FTIR, XRD and ‎XRF) and physic-chemical analyzes (CEC, the acid index, specific ‎surface area, average pore diameter, and volume mass). The ‎intensity of the Bands assigned to Si-O and Al-O Vibrations were ‎slightly reduced on pillaring process. The decrease in intensity is ‎due to the process of dehydroxylation produced during pillaring. ‎The d-spacing for the intercalated and pillared bentonites is ‎‎38.199 A° and 30.057 A°, respectively. The specific surface area ‎of pillared and natural bentonite is 365.11 and 68.25 m2 g-1 ‎respectively. With determined specific properties, modified clays ‎are highly reactive matrices that can be used as adsorbents in the ‎process of depollution of industrial wastewater.‎
