Synthetic beidellite, natural montmorillonite, and transition metal containing clays were pillard with aluminum and transformed into bifunctional catalysts. The pillard clays with various degrees of tetrahedral substitution have been evaluated as catalysts for isomerization-hydrocracking of decane. A comparison has been made between the catalytic properties of pillard clays and ultrastable Y zeolites. For decane isomerization, Al-pillared beidellites and ultrastable Y zeolites are similar catalysts. The activity of the pillard clays follows the sequence of lattice tetrahedral substitution. 61 refs., 11 figs., 4 tabs.
