Pillared, regularly and randomly interstratified illite/smectite (I/S) was prepared by interacting aluminum chlorohydrate with I/S in aqueous dispersion. I/S samples from Kinnekulle, Sweden, ranging in composition from 30–60% smectite layers, were used as starting clays. The pillaring resulted in a separation of the smectite layers in the I/S of about 9 Å, as estimated by X-ray powder diffraction and by nitrogen adsorption studies. Only the smectite layers of the clay were modified by the pillaring procedure. The pillared products had surface areas of 200–260 m2/g and pore volumes of about 0.18 cm3/g. The uptake of Al by the clay and the micropore surface area of the pillared products were proportional to the fraction of smectite layers in the I/S. The thermal and hydrothermal stability of the pillared I/S was similar to that of pillared montmorillonite prepared using the same procedure.
