Basal spacings, interlamellar structure and thermal stability of these organo-montmorillonites (OMMT) clays have been characterized using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WARD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Increase in the basal spacing due to organic modification is in good agreement with simple theoretical calculations based on van der Waals volume of the cationic ammonium ions. TGA characterization and analysis show that the amount of organic modifier in the OMMT's is in good agreement with theoretically calculated stoichiometric content expected for almost complete exchange of Na+ ions by organic cations. The OMMT's shows stepwise decomposition corresponding to initial weight loss from residual water desorption, followed by decomposition of the organic surfactant and the dehydroxylation of structural water of the montmorillonite layers.

The ``neat'' cobalt-salen complex showed a weight loss at 368 degrees C while the weight loss for the corresponding intercalated complex was observed at much higher temperature of 492 degrees C due to decomposition of the complex. The thermal stabilization observed was due to the host-guest interaction of clay and metal complex and thus confirmed the intercalation. The XANES spectrum of Co(salen)-mont sample revealed the change of symmetry from the tetrahedral in plane to the octahedral structure having an axial bonding of oxygen to the cobalt, indicating that cobalt atoms in Co(salen)-mont were coordinated axially with the lattice oxygen of montmorillonite. Both XANES and EXAFS results indicated that cobalt atoms in Co(salen)-mont form two additional Co-O bonds with a bond length of 0.199 nm by the intercalation while retaining the Co-salen structure. Co-salen intercalated into the montmorillonite clay showed the highest activity for the air oxidation of p-cresol, giving 88% selectivity to the oxidation products. Effects of NaOH concentration and various solvents on the conversion and selectivity patterns also have been studied. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Ammonia TPD studies of various catalysts showed that an appropriate combination of both strong and weak acid sites of montmorillonite was mainly responsible rather than only the stronger acidity of bulk DTP for its highest catalytic activity for selective hydroxyalkylation of p-cresol to DAM. The selectivity to DAM could be enhanced by adjusting reaction conditions like mole ratio of p-cresol to formaldehyde, reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, solvent and reaction time.

These nanocomposites are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyses. XRD analysis revealed proper dispersion as well as intercalation of Fe-Ni NPs in the clay matrix. TEM of nanocomposites showed the presence of spherical particles having a size of 20-40 nm. Batch experiments with a 25 mg L(-1) Cr(VI) solution and 2 g L-1 Fe-Ni NPs exhibited complete reduction of Cr(VI) within 10 min that follows first order reaction kinetics. Amongst 25%, 50%, 75% in situ and loaded nanocomposites, 75% compositions possess better activity with enhanced reduction capacity below pH 4 due to generation of reactive H center dot species. XPS analysis of nanocomposites after Cr(VI) treatment suggested that reduction process occurs through Cr(111) formation followed by its subsequent reduction to Cr(0). Their potentiality towards reusage is established from the recycling experiments that revealed the order of efficiency as 75% in situ &amp;gt; Fe-Ni NPs &amp;gt; 75% loaded nanocomposites.

Among these, Al-montmorillonite showed the highest acidity determined by the pyridine-IR as well as NH3-TPD methods. A systematic comparison of the performance of these catalysts along with parent montmorillonite was carried out for the hydroxyalkylation of p-cresol with formaldehyde to give 2, 2'-methylenebis (4-methyl phenol) (DAM). It was found that the activity of these catalysts was in accordance with the increase in acidity of parent montmorillonite after the exchange of cations in the order of Zn2+, Fe3+ and Al3+. The selectivity pattern was also influenced by the exchanged cations. Since Al-montmorillonite showed the highest conversion of 51% with 98% selectivity to DAM, the effects of various reaction parameters, namely, mole ratio, catalyst concentration, temperature, reaction time on conversion and selectivity pattern were also studied using the same catalyst This catalyst also showed an excellent stability as evidenced by its eight times reuse.

Melt processed PMMA-clay hybrids were characterized using wide-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The organoclays having an alkyl chain length of more than 12 CH2 groups resulted in the formation of nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature (T-g) of PMMA increased in the presence of clay. The mean-field lattice model was used to predict the free energy for nanocomposite formation, which showed a reasonable match with the experimental results and provided a general guideline for the proper selection of polymer and organoclay (ie, organic modifier) to obtain nanocomposite. Tensile modulus showed maximum improvement of 58% for the nanocomposites compared to 9% improvement for the composites. Tensile modulus increased with increases in the alkyl chain length of the organic modifier and clay loading. The level of improvement for the tensile properties of nanocomposites prepared from primary and secondary ammonium-modified clay is the same as that obtained with the commercial organoclays.&lt;/p&gt;
