acidity but increase in Lewis acidity. The catalytic activity of L-99 is due to Lewis acidity. Heating up to 500°C results even­ tually in complete dehydrox'ylation of alumino silicate lat­ tice, producing completely amorphous L-99 that retains Lewis acidity.

Abstract

Majority of the catalysts used by organic chemist are based on naturally occurring clays and minerals. These catalysts are prepared from the clays and minerals and are marketed by various chemical companies. The natural clays or minerals also find utility as a catalyst support and also suitable catalyst for the conversion of larger molecules. The clays supported reagents are known as pillared clays.
