Abstract

Interest in pillared interlayered clays (PILCs) has over the past decades been centered on their prospective industrial utilization in catalysis, sorption, and separations (air – gas mixtures, small hydrocarbons, multicomponent hydrocarbon mixtures, large organic molecules). In this chapter, the application of PILCs materials and other related ones (layered clays, LDHs, PCHs) in selective catalytic reduction of NO x will be tackled in detail.
