ABSTRACT
Pilfaring layered tetratitanates anion by zirkonium(lV) polycation species has been realized by three steps: 1). cationexchange
of potasium tetratitanates, 2). intercalation of n-butylamine compound in layered hydrogen tetratitanates and 3).
intercalation of zirconium(IV) polycation species by mixing butylamine-intercalated tetratitanates with an aqueous solution of
ZrOC12.8H20at pH various: 0.1, 0.9 and 1.8. The procedure was carried out by Chimie Douce method. The structures oftitanates
and the products which had undergone ft exchange and intercalated by n-butylamine and zirkonium(IV) polycation spesies were
investigated by.X-rays Diffractometer(XRD) and X-rays Fluorescence (XRF). It was found in the research that [Zr(H20)ef+,
[Zr(OH)(H20M3+or [Zr(OHMH20)B!+types have presented in the [nterlayerof the products. At pH = 0.1 and 0.9, [Zr(OH)(H20hf.+
type was pillared more dominated in layered tetratitanates than [Zr(H20)ef+ type. At pH 1.8, it was signaled that [Zr(OH)(H20)r+
and [Zr(OHMH20)B!+ types intercalated in layered tetratitanates.
