Fe　pillared　sodium-modified　sepiolite　(Fe-NaPILCS)　was　prepared　by　intercalation　polymerization　of　iron　hydroxyl　ions　with　sodium-treated　sepiolite　and　then　calcined　at　450　degrees　C　for　4　h.　Cu/Fe-NaPILCS　and　Cu/Fe-NaSep　were　prepared　by　impregnation　of　Fe-NaPILCS　and　Fe-NaSep,　respectively,　with　an　aqueous　solution　of　Cu-nitrate.　These　samples　were　characterized　by　means　of　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD),　TGA-DTG,　N-2-sorption　analysis,　H-2-temperature-programmed　reduction　(TPR),　X-ray　photoelectron　spectroscopy　(XPS)　techniques　and　their　catalytic　performance　for　the　selective　catalytic　reduction　(SCR)　of　NO　by　C3H6　were　also　studied.　The　results　of　N-2-desorption/adsorption　and　TGA-DTG　showed　that　due　to　pillaring,　Fe-NaPILCS　revealed　much　higher　surface　area,　pore　volume　and　thermal　stability　than　that　of　Sep.　According　to　the　result　of　XRD　and　XPS,　there　co-exist　Fe3+/Fe2+　and　Cu2+/Cu+　and　also　the　strong　interaction　among　Cu,　Fe　and　support　over　Cu/Fe-NaPILCS　and　Cu/Fe-NaSep　catalysts.　H-2-TPR　showed　that　Cu/Fe-NaPILCS　possessed　high　amount　of　isolated　Cu2+　species.　Cu/Fe-NaPILCS　display　more　significant　activity　for　selective　reduction　of　NO　with　C3H6　than　that　of　Cu/Fe-NaSep.　This　maybe　related　to　its　higher　surface　area,　pore　volume,　better　catalytic　reduction　performance　and　high　amount　of　isolated　Cu2+　species.
