Abstract:

The construction of a green catalytic reaction system with characteristic of high efficiency for the synthesis of epoxycyclohexane by catalytic epoxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 was focused. We succeeded in synthesizing Ti-Beta zeolites in the absence of Al by the dry-gel conversion method using tetraethylammonium hydroxide(TEAOH) as the structure directing agent with n(H2O)/n(Si) of about 1.5. We found that the crystallization, the uniformity of crystal and size of Ti-Beta were significantly affected by proper acidity and basicity, the amount of water and template dosage. Then, highly efficient Ti-Beta catalyst was prepared by calcination treatment of the raw powder. Under the optimal catalytic reaction conditions, the cyclohexene conversion of 33.5% and the epoxidation selectivity of 99.6% were achieved. The results indicate that Ti-Beta is an excellent heterogeneous catalyst.
