SOLVOTHERMAL PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TIO2 PILLARED SAPONITE
Abstract
The clay fraction of saponite-rich samples from western Macedonia, Greece was used for the preparation of TiO2 –pillared saponite. Nanocomposites of titania saponite were prepared by solvothermal reaction using water and ethanol as the solvent, hexamethylene tetramine as the precipitant and titanium trichloride as the precursor. Phase composition, particle morphology, element content and physical properties were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron microscopy with Microanalysis (SEM-EDS), Attenuated Total Reflection using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), particle size analysis using Dynamic Light Scattering method (DLS), and porosimetry analysis. The results show that TiO2 –pillared saponite was successfully synthesized and that the product exhibits improved properties for more demanding uses and applications.
