摘要
The paper described pillarisations of natural bentonite from Pacitan East Java of Indonesia by using AI and Fe. Intercalation process by using surfactant molecule has also been carried out. Natural bentonite was intercalated with HDTMA-Br （hexadecyltrimethylammonium-bromide） 1, 5% solution before pillared with AI and Fe metal to give HDTMA-bentonite forms. The ratio of bentonite and intercalating agent or pillaring agent was 1 gr/50 mL. The mixture was agitated, and then the solid phase was washed with distilled water. Then it was dried and calcined at 450℃ for 4 hours. Their catalytic activity and selectivity were studied for phenol hydroxylation using tlzOz （30%）. The reaction condition of this reaction was as follows： ratio of phenol/ H202 = 1：1 （molar ratio）, concentration of phenol = 1 M, reaction temperature was 60℃, and ratio of catalyst/phenol was 1：10. The products were hydroquinone and cathecol.
