Abstract
The epoxidation of allyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by the microporous titanium silicalite TS-1 has been investigated with respect to the effect of the method of catalyst preparation. Three methods of TS-1 synthesis have been studied using the standard tetrapropyl-ammonium cation as template (i) using tetraethyl orthosilicate, tetraethyl orthotitanate as reagents, (ii) using a fluoride method and (iii) using tetrabutyl orthotitanate as the titanium source. The TS-1 samples were characterised by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The method of preparation controlled the morphology of the TS-1 crystals and in particular the crystallisation time was found to be an important parameter. Data are presented that correlate the activity for the epoxidation of allyl alcohol with the morphology of TS-1. In addition it is found that the catalytic activity of TS-1 for this reaction is not related to the intensity or presence of the infrared absorption band at ca. 960 cm−1.
