Synthesis and chracterization of tantalum pillared montmorillonite
Abstract
The preparation of tantalum pillared monntmorillonite, resulting in a basal spacing of 26 Å at 500 °C, is described; dehydration of butan-1-ol resutlts in a 100% selectivity to btenene with no detectable formation of butylaldehyde or dibutyl ether.
