Impact of a polymer modifier on directing the non-classical crystallization pathway of TS-1 zeolite: accelerating nucleation and enriching active sites

The crystallization process directly affects the physicochemical properties and active centers of zeolites; however, controllable tuning of the zeolite crystallization process remains a challenge. Herein, we utilized a polymer (polyacrylamide, PAM) to control the precursor structure evolution of TS-1 zeolite through a two-step crystallization process, so that the crystallization path was switched from a classical to a non-classical mechanism, which greatly accelerated nucleation and enriched active Ti sites. The TS-1 crystallization process was investigated by means of various advanced characterization techniques. It was found that specific interactions between PAM and Si/Ti species promoted the assembly of colloidal precursors containing ordered structural fragments and stabilized Ti species in the precursors, leading to a 1.5-fold shortened crystallization time and enriched Ti content in TS-1 (Si/Ti = 29). The PAM-regulated TS-1 zeolite exhibited enhanced catalytic performance in oxidative reactions compared to conventional samples.

Polyacrylamide (PAM) was utilized to switch the crystallization pathway of TS-1 zeolite from classical to non-classical by virtue of the specific interaction between PAM and Si/Ti species, thus accelerating nucleation and enriching active sites.     

Synthesis of Pt-SnOx/TS-1@SBA-16 Composites and Their High Catalytic Performance for Propane Dehydrogenation

A novel composite material of TS-1@SBA-16 was synthesized by enwrapping TS-1 zeolite crystals with mesoporous SBA-16 silica. This composite was used as catalyst support for loading Pt-SnOx in the propane dehydr genation(PDH) reaction. Catalysts were characterized by means ofN2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, UV-Vis, and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of different contents of TS-1 on PDH was investigated, and the optimal amount of TS-1 was determined to be 10%. The catalyst with TS-1 content of 10% showed the highest PDH activity and the initial conversion of propane over it can achieve 54.5%, higher than those over TS-1 or SB A-16-supported ones. The superior catalytic performance of Pt-SnOx/TS-1 @SBA-16 is related to the synergistic effect of the excellent mass transfer performance through the hierarchical porous structure, suitable acid acidity and electronic effect of Ti species.

多级孔钛硅分子筛的制备及应用进展

以钛硅分子筛(TS-1)为催化剂的选择性催化氧化工艺具有反应条件温和、产物选择性高及环境污染小等特点,促进了烃类催化氧化反应的绿色化发展.但常规TS-1分子筛狭窄的孔道限制了其在大分子催化氧化反应中的应用.多级孔TS-1分子筛为包含不同尺度的孔道结构的晶体沸石,兼具微孔分子筛晶体优异的水热稳定性和介孔材料优异的扩散传输性能,因此其受到国内外众多专家学者的广泛关注.多级孔TS-1分子筛的制备方法很多,主要有直接合成法和后处理法,其中直接合成法包括硬模板法、软模板法和自组装法,而后处理制备主要为碱处理法.我们在对多级孔TS-1分子筛制备方法进行归纳总结的基础上,探讨不同制备方法对分子筛中钛硅物种分布、孔道结构及催化烃类选择性氧化反应性能的影响.结合目前TS-1分子筛应用现状,对其未来发展进行展望.     

干胶法制备钛硅沸石及其催化性能

氨基酸辅助合成高活性六配位钛物种的TS-1分子筛

TS-1分子筛是以TO4(T=Si,Ti)四面体为基本单元,通过氧桥连接而形成的具有MFI拓扑结构的微孔晶体材料,其在催化烯烃环氧化、酮类氨肟化、氧化脱硫及芳香烃羟基化等氧化反应中表现出较好的催化活性.目前,提高TS-1分子筛催化性能的方法主要包括:(1)制备纳米和多级孔TS-1分子筛,以提高其扩散传质性能;(2)提高TS-1分子筛的钛含量并抑制锐钛矿相的产生,以增加其催化活性位点.最新研究表明,相比于传统四配位钛物种(TiO4)作为催化活性中心,六配位(TiO6)钛物种在烯烃环氧化反应中具有更高的催化活性,可进一步降低反应活化能,最终实现高效催化转化.然而,TiO6物种结构中的Ti-OH组分,易导致开环反应发生,从而降低环氧化产物的选择性.因此,构筑高活性TiO6物种及调变TiO4/TiO6比例,对提高烯烃转化率及环氧产物选择性具有重要意义.当前,高活性钛物种的结构表征及其构筑已成为研究热点且仍面临挑战.本文协同采用氨基酸辅助合成策略和两步晶化方法,成功地制备出具有TiO4和TiO6物种且无锐钛矿相的多级孔TS-1分子筛.在该协同策略中,两步晶化过程有利于抑制锐钛矿相的形成,而氨基酸的引入对高活性TiO6物种的构筑具有重要作用.氨基酸分子可与钛原料形成螯合物,为TS-1分子筛晶化提供"养料",并有效平衡晶体成核与生长速率及稳定TiO6物种,最终实现制备富含TiO6物种的多级孔TS-1分子筛.相比于传统TiO4物种作为催化活性中心(1-己烯的转化率<25％,环氧化产物选择性>95％),本文所制备的TS-1分子筛(Si/Ti=36.9)因其兼具TiO4和TiO6物种,在1-己烯环氧化反应中表现出更好的催化性能(1-己烯的转化率33％,环氧化产物选择性95％).这是由于TiO4物种不会导致开环反应的发生,因此可以保证较高的环氧产物选择性,而TiO6物种经H2O2活化后,可形成具有更高活性及更小位阻效应的催化中心,极大提高了1-己烯转化率.综上,本文合成策略为构筑具有高活性钛物种及多级孔结构的钛硅分子筛提供了指导作用,为调控硅铝酸盐及硅取代磷酸铝分子筛材料活性位点的含量和分布提供了新思路.     

Configuration of MFI-type zeolite interacting with the probe molecule P(CH<Subscript>3</Subscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript> – a theoretical study

With P(CH₃)₃ as the probe molecule adsorbed on titanium silicalite (TS-1) zeolite, the special and important role of T12 site in MFI-type zeolite was clearly elucidated. There are altogether three active sites present in TS-1 zeolite with Ti at the T12 site. Owing to the preferential adsorption of probe molecules on the first Brönsted acidic site, the Ti12 center will probably fail to show Lewis acidity. The ionic [HP(CH₃)₃]⁺ species can be stabilized by the first or second Brönsted acidic site, with the former energetically favored. The latter was formed through the transfer of the ionic [HP(CH₃)₃]⁺ species from the first to the second Brönsted acidic site.

On the role of Ti(IV) as a Lewis acid in the chemistry of titanium zeolites: Formation, structure, reactivity, and aging of Ti-peroxo oxidizing intermediates. A first principles study

The ethylene epoxidation cycle in a H2O2/H2O-loaded Ti zeolite has been simulated by a Car-Parrinello approach. Results indicate a process where the zeolitic framework is the active oxygen mediator. The dissociative chemisorption of H2O2 leads, via a transient Ti-hydroperoxo species, to H2O and a Ti-peroxo zeolite intermediate. Transfer of active oxygen to ethylene follows, giving the epoxide and recovering the catalyst. A thorough theoretical characterization indicates that the active oxidizing species is an asymmetric eta2-Ti-peroxo, absorbing in the visible range. The lability of the intermediate is found related to eta2 <--> eta1 interconversions of the Ti-peroxo structure. The interconversions, triggered by water molecules, could account for the experimentally found reduced catalytic activity in aged TS-1 catalysts. The results provide a microscopic picture of the reactivity and dehydration/aging processes of the catalyst fully consistent with experiments and highlight the fundamental role of the Lewis acid character of Ti in the formation, reactivity, and degradation of the active oxidizing species.     

Titanium Defective Sites in TS-1: Structural Insights by Combining Spectroscopy and Simulation

Ti silicates, and in particular, titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1), are nowadays important catalysts for several partial oxidation reactions in the presence of aqueous H₂O₂ as an oxidant. Despite the numerous studies dealing with this material, some fundamental aspects are still unclear. In particular, the structure and the catalytic role of defective Ti sites, other than perfect tetrahedral sites recognized as the main active species, has not been quantitatively discussed in the literature. We assess the structural features of defective Ti sites on the basis of outcomes of electronic spectroscopies, as interpreted through quantum mechanical simulation. Strong evidence is disclosed to support the fact that the most common defective Ti sites, often reported in the TS-1 literature, are monomeric Ti centers that are embedded in the zeolite framework, and which have a distorted octahedral local symmetry.

Heterogeneous oxidation of cyclohexanone catalyzed by TS-1:Combined experimental and DFT studies

The reaction mechanism of the oxidation of cyclohexanone catalyzed by titanium silicate zeolite TS-1 using aqueous H2O2 as the oxidant was investigated by combining density function theory (DFT) calculations with experimental studies. DFT calculations showed that H2O2 was adsorbed and activated at the tetrahedral Ti sites. By taking into account the adsorption energy, molecular size, steric hindrance and structural information, a reaction mechanism of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation catalyzed by TS-1 that involves the activation of H2O2 was proposed. Experimental studies showed that the major products of cyclohexanone oxidation by H2O2 catalyzed by a hollow TS-1 zeolite wereε-carprolactone, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, and adipic acid. These products were analyzed by GC-MS and were in good agreement with the proposed mechanism. Our studies showed that the reaction mechanism on TS-1 zeolite was different from that on Sn-beta zeolite.     

Comparison of all sites for Ti substitution in zeolite TS-1 by an accurate embedded-cluster method

We studied the preferential location of Ti centers in the framework of the Ti-containing MFI zeolite TS-1 using a hybrid DFT/MM embedding method developed recently. This "covalent elastic polarizable environment" (covEPE) cluster embedding allows a complete and self-consistent treatment of solid covalent systems such as zeolites. For the present study, we used a gradient-corrected density functional approach. The resulting structural features of both Si- and Ti-substituted forms of the zeolite framework fit well with available experimental information. The calculated substitution energy of Ti at the 12 crystallographically different tetrahedral sites of the MFI structure vary within 19 kJ/mol with T12 and T2 as most and least preferred sites, respectively. On the basis of these computational results and the preferential sites for Ti substitution reported from different experimental investigations, we concluded that the Ti distribution in the TS-1 framework is not governed by the thermodynamic stability of the pure material.     

新型液固相同晶取代法制备Ti-β沸石

A New Generation of Titanosilicate Catalyst: Preparation and Application to Liquid-Phase Epoxidation of Alkenes

A novel titanosilicate with the MWW topology, Ti-MWW, has been prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis using boric acid as a structure-supporting agent, and also by post-incorporation of tetrahedral Ti species into MWW silicalite through controlled structural conversions between three-dimensional crystalline silicalite and the lamellar precursor. Ti-MWW is further converted by delamination into a thin sheet material applicable to the reaction of bulky reactants. Both direct hydrothermal synthesis and postsynthesis methods make it possible to introduce a controllable amount of Ti species into the MWW structure. An acid treatment of uncalcined samples is essentially important for the removal of the extraframework octahedral Ti species located on the exterior layer surface. The catalytic properties of Ti-MWW have been compared with those of conventional titanosilicates (TS-1, TS-2, Ti-Beta, Ti-MOR, Ti-MCM-41, etc.) in the epoxidation of various alkenes with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrothermally synthesized Ti-MWW proves to be more effective in the epoxidation of linear alkenes including functionalized ones, and also exhibits considerable activity for cycloalkenes. Moreover, it shows a unique shape selectivity not shared with other titanosilicates in the epoxidation of cis/trans geometric alkene isomers. Postsynthesized Ti-MWW, nearly free of boron, catalyses the alkene epoxidation more effectively as a result of the tetrahedral Ti species different from those resulting from the direct synthesis, which turns out to be the most active epoxidation titanosilicate catalyst so far. Delaminated Ti-MWW, possessing an extremely open and accessible surface area but maintaining the basic structure of zeolite, catalyses the epoxidation of various cycloalkenes more actively than large pore titanosilicates including mesoporous Ti-MCM-41.
