Provided is a method of preparing a sparsely pillared organic-inorganic hybrid compound. The method of preparing an organic-inorganic hybrid compound includes: preparing a compound having a gibbsite structure by a method other than a hydrothermal synthesis method, using a trivalent metal cation source, an alkali imparting agent, and a first solvent (S10); and preparing an organic-inorganic hybrid compound by a method other than a hydrothermal synthesis method, using the compound of the gibbsite structure, a divalent metal cation source, dicarboxylic acid, and a second solvent (S20).

The present disclosure relates generally to solid/liquid separation processes. One aspect of the disclosure is a process including filtering a solid/liquid mixture comprising a solid crude aromatic carboxylic acid, a monocarboxylic acid solvent, and minor amounts of an oxidation catalyst in a feed zone of a rotary filter (e.g., a rotary pressure filter), the feed zone having at least two filter zones to form a first feed filtrate comprising monocarboxylic acid solvent and solids; and a second feed filtrate separate from the first feed filtrate, the second feed filtrate comprising monocarboxylic acid solvent and solids, the second feed filtrate being lower in solids than the first feed filtrate; and transferring at least a portion of the first feed filtrate to the reactor zone as recycle.
