Titanium modified {beta} and MCM-41 molecular sieves K
- Universite Laval, Ste-Foy (Canada)
Ti modified large Pore {beta} zeolite and mesoporous MCM-41 molecular sieve were synthesized using hydrothermal procedures. Several other Ti-{beta} zeolites were prepared by treating a {beta} zeolite (Si/Al = 100) with ammonium titanyl oxalate solution. All samples were characterized by atomic absorption, XRD, IR, UV-Vis, Raman and XPS. The presence of tetrahedral Ti was evidenced particularly by the presence of a 212 nm absorption band in the UV-Vis spectra and a Ti(2p{sub 3/2}) binding energy of 459.5 eV. All samples were tested for the hydroxylation of hexane, benzene and phenol, and also for the epoxidation of 1-hexene. High catalytic activity was found only for the epoxidation reaction. Previous reports showed that, contrary to TS-1 and TS-2 zeolites, Ti modified {beta} (M.E. Davis et al. Prepr. Div. Petrol. Chem. 1993, p.769) and ZSM-48 (A. Sayari et at Catal. Lett. 23 (1994) 175) zeolites are poor hydroxylation catalysts in the presence of H{sub 2}O{sub 2}. In a paper devoted to Ti-MCM-41, Corma et al. (Chem. Commun. 1994, 147) reported only on the 1-hexene epoxidation. However, in the presence of excess H{sub 2}O{sub 2}, Pinnavaia et al. (Nature 368 (1994) 321) found that Ti-MCM-41 exhibits significant catalytic activity in the hydroxylation of benzene and substituted phenol. This behavior may indicate that in TS-1 and TS-2, Ti has a different local environment.
