Selective Oxidation of Alkanes, Alkenes, and Phenol with Aqueous H_2O_2 on Titanium Silicate Molecular Sieves

Abstract

Titanium containing pure-silica ZSM-5 (TS-1) materials are synthesized using different methods. The activity of the titanium containing catalysts for the oxidation of alkanes, alkenes and phenol at temperatures below 100 °C using aqueous H_2O_2 as oxidant is reported. The relationships between the physicochemical and catalytic properties of these titanium silicates are discussed. The effects of added aluminum and sodium on the catalytic activity of TS-1 are described. The addition of sodium during the synthesis of TS-1 is detrimental to the catalytic activity while sodium incorporation into preformed TS-1 is not. The framework substitution of aluminum for silicon appears to decrease the amount of framework titanium.
