Abstract: Titanium porous clays were synthesized by the reaction of Na-montmorillonite with Ti crosslinking agent prepared by sol-gel method. The preparation conditions of
titanium porous clay were also researched by means of XRD, IR and DTA etc. The results show that the product synthesized by sol-gel method is easy to form large
pore structure than by TiCl4 hydrolysis method, the resulting titanium porous clay possesses interlayer free spacing of 2.93nm and surface area of 351.0m2·g-1
with the preparation condition of [Ti]=0.82mol·L-1, [Ti]/clay=20mmol·g-1, and has a good thermal stability to 860℃.

Key words: sol-gel, TiO2, porous clay, clay nanocomposite
