ABSTRACT: Bentonite is a clay mineral whose chemical structure can be easily modified by pillaring process for introduction of various cations such as aluminum, chromium, nickel, zinc etc. fact that conducts to attractive and versatile products suitable for diverse applications going from gas separation to pollutants removal or excipients for food industry for example. This paper deals with the synthesis of aluminum pillared bentonite based on a process involving bentonite suspension and pillaring agent preparation, bentonite intercalation and calcination. The raw material and the obtained products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique, ammonia-temperature programmed desorption and scanning electronic microscopy. Three ratios of aluminum cations – amount of bentonite (5 mmol/g, 12.5 mmol/g, 20 mmol/g) and three calcination temperatures (300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C) were used according to a Response Surface Methodology program aiming to attain the highest interlamellar distance, specific surface area and surface acidity. Collected data were fitted to second order polynomial equations. An aluminum cation – bentonite amount ratio of 12.5 mmol/g and a calcination temperature of 400 °C were found as appropriate conditions for bentonite pillaring process. Tests conducted on these settings showed that mathematical models were in good agreement with the experimental values presenting a high degree of accuracy.
