Abstract:		"The paper discusses a formation of Mt-PAA composite containing a natural montmorillonite structure partially exfoliated by poly(acrylic acid) introduced through intercalation polymerization of acrylic acid. Mt-PAA was subsequently modified by controlled adsorption of Co(2+) ions. The presence of aluminosilicate packets (clay) and carboxyl groups (hydrogel) led to the deposition of significant amounts of Co(2+) ions, which after calcination formed the Co(3)O(4) spinel particles. The conditions of the Co(2+) ions' deposition (pH, volume and concentration of Co(NO(3))(2) solution, as well as a type of pH-controlling agent) were widely varied. Physicochemical characterization of the prepared materials (including X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed reduction (H(2)-TPR)) revealed that the modification conditions strongly influenced the content as well as the distribution of the Co(3)O(4) active phase, tuning its reducibility. The latter parameter was, in turn, very important from the point of view of catalytic activity in the combustion of aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) following the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism"
