Abstract

Saponites containing divalent Mg, Ni, or Fe as octahedral cations and trivalent Al and Fe substituting Si in the tetrahedral sheet were synthesized using microwave radiation. Saponite with a high specific surface area was obtained in all the syntheses, although Fe-Al saponite crystallized was impurified by Fe2O3 and analcime. The catalytic activity of the solids for the epoxidation of (Z)-cyclooctene by hydrogen peroxide was tested, the solids obtained being highly active (conversion up to 8.8%, and 100% selectivity to the epoxide)
