Abstract: Synthetic mica-montmoriilonite (SMM) was synthesized by using the hydrothertnal method. Pillared synthetic dioctahedral clays(Al-CLS) were prepared by crosslinking SMMwith hydroxyl aluminium oligomer between the layers. The results obtained by DTA and IRindicate that the dehydroxylation of octahedral hydroxyl group is easier at a high temperature calcination because of pillar introduced. The surface acidity of SMM and Al-CLSmeasured by NH3-TPDand pyridine adsorption showed that Al-CLSpresents even more sites of weaker and stronger acid than SMM. The dehydration-amination of ethanol with ammonia was studied over SMM and Al-CLSat 400℃ under ambient pressure. It is found that the weak acid sites on the surface favour the dehydration of ethanol and the NH3molecular adsorpted on the strong acid sites favour the amination of ethanol. The results from NH3-TPD, C2H5OH-TPD and estimation test showed that the reaction between NH3adsorpted on the strong acid sites and gas state C2H5OH perhaps occur in the amination of ethanol.
