Selective oxidation of propylene over gold deposited on titanium-based oxides

Gold supported on titanium-based metal oxides can assist the selective partial oxidation of propylene at temperatures from 313 K to 573 K in a gas containing both H₂ and O₂. The preparation method was found to be crucial in controlling the selectivities. In general, impregnation and chemical vapor deposition methods do not produce selective catalysts. Only the deposition-precipitation method makes gold selective to propylene oxide or propanal, suggesting that a strong contact between the gold particles and the titanium ion sites on the support is important. The effect of changing the support was also dramatic; the use of the anatase form of TiO₂ and Ti-MCM-41 results in propylene oxide production, while the rutile structure of TiO₂ caused complete oxidation to CO₂. Microporous crystalline titanium silicates such as TS-1, TS-2, and Ti-β zeolite make gold relatively selective to propanal and of the three TS-1 gives the highest selectivity. These results indicate that the oxidation of propylene in the copresence of H₂ must involve the surface of the supports and that the reaction takes place at the interface perimeter around the gold particles.

Study on the Acid Treatment of Titanium Silicalite TS-1

Titanium silicalite (TS-1) is one kind of heteroatom molecular sieve synthesized by Taramasso and his coworkers in 1983^[1]. Its specific catalytic oxidation properties have attracted much attention of many scientists^[2]. The synthesis of TS-1 need use expensive TPAOH as the template; this restrains its industrial application. There are many reports on low cost TS-1, such as using TPABr to replace TPAOH, silica sol to replace tetra-ethyl orthosilicate^[3-5]. In our lab, TS-1 was synthesized by using TPABr as the template and silica sol as silicon source,and the amount of TPABr was decreased to 0.05 (TPABr/SiO₂). The as-synthesized TS-1 has some differences compared with TS-1 synthesized according to the standard method, such as large crystal size, trace aluminum, extra-framework titanium, high activity in the epoxidation of propylene with dilute H₂O₂ and low selectivity of propylene oxide (20-30%). The low selectivity of PO is attributed to the acidity of TS-1 resulted from the trace aluminum and silicon hydroxyl. In order to increase the selectivity of PO, it is necessary to add some base to the reaction mixture. Generally, acid treatment can remove aluminum and other elements and impurity to improve catalyst. In this paper, the effect of the acid treatment on the physicochemical properties of TS-1 was studied.     

Direct gas-phase epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide using air as oxidant on supported gold catalyst

Gold catalysts supported on SiO2, TiO2, TiO2-SiO2, and ZrO2-SiO2 supports were prepared by impregnating each support with a basic solution of tetrachloroauric acid. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） techniques were used to characterize their structure and surface composition. The results indicated that the size of gold particles could be controlled to below 10 nm by this method of preparation. Washing gold catalysts with water could markedly enhance the dispersion of metallic gold particles on the surface, but it could not completely remove the chloride ions left on the surface. The catalytic performance of direct vapor-phase epoxidation of propylene using air as an oxidant over these catalysts was evaluated at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity to propylene oxide （PO） was found to vary with reaction time on the stream. At the reaction conditions of atmosphere pressure, temperature 325 ℃, feed gas ratio V（C3H6）/V（O2）= 1/2, and GHSV =6000h^-1, 17.9% PO selectivity with 0.9% propylene conversion were obtained at initial 10 min for Au/SiO2 catalyst. After reacting 60 min only 8.9% PO selectivity were detected, but the propylene conversion rises to 1.4% and the main product is transferred to acrolein （72% selectivity）. Washing Au/TiO2-SiO2 and Aa/ZrO2-SiO2 samples with magnesium citrate solution could markedly enhance the activity and PO selectivity because smaller gold particles were obtained.

Characterization of silylated Ti-grafted HMS catalyst and its excellent epoxidation performance

Silylated Ti-grafted hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) catalyst was prepared by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using TiCl4 as titanium source and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSZ) as silylating agent. The samples were characterized by XRD, N2- adsorption, FTIR, 29Si NMR, DR UV-vis, and evaluated by epoxidation of styrene, propylene, cyclohexene, and 1-hexene with cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) as oxidant, respectively. It is revealed that the catalyst possesses typical mesoporous structure, high hydrophobicity and highly dispersed tetracoordinated titanium sites and hence exhibits excellent performance in epoxidation of olefins.     

Preparation of highly active silica-supported Au catalysts for CO oxidation by a solution-based technique

Although Au catalysts can be readily prepared on titania via the deposition-precipitation (DP) method, the direct application of the method similar to the preparation of silica-supported Au catalysts only results in diminished success. This paper reports a novel, efficient method to synthesize highly active Au catalysts supported on mesoporous silica (SBA-15) through a gold cationic complex precursor [Au(en)2]3+ (en = ethylenediamine) via a wet chemical process. The gold cationic precursor was immobilized on negatively charged surfaces of silica by a unique DP method that makes use of the deprotonation reaction of ethylenediamine ligands. The resulting mesoporous catalyst has been demonstrated to be highly active for CO oxidation at room temperature and even below 273 K, the activity of which is much superior to that of silica-supported Au catalysts previously prepared by various solution techniques. The pH value of the gold precursor solution plays a key role in determining the catalytic activity through the regulation of [Au(en)2]3+ deprotonation reaction and the surface interaction of silica with the gold precursor. This mesoporous gold silica catalyst has also been shown to be highly resistant to sintering because of the stabilization of Au nanoparticles inside mesopores.

Catalytic abatement of CO and volatile organic compounds in waste gases by gold catalysts supported on ceria-modified mesoporous titania and zirconia

Mesoporous oxides TiO2 and ZrO2, synthesized by surfactant templating via a neutral C13(EO)6–Zr(OC3H7)4 assembly pathway, and ceria‐modified TiO2 and ZrO2, prepared by a deposi‐tion–precipitation (DP) method, featuring high surface areas and uniform pore size distributions were used as supports for gold catalysts. The supported gold catalysts were assessed for the cata‐lytic abatement of air pollutants, i.e., CO, CH3OH, and (CH3)2O. The gold was supported on the mes‐oporous oxides by a DP method. The supports and catalysts were characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption analysis, and temperature‐programmed reduction technique. A high degree of synergistic interaction be‐tween ceria and mesoporous ZrO2 and TiO2 as well as a positive modification of the structural and catalytic properties by ceria was observed. The ceria additive interacts with the mesoporous oxides and induces a strong effect on the reducibility of the supports. The catalytic behavior of the catalysts was discussed to determine the role of the ceria modifying additive and possible interaction be‐tween the gold nanoparticles and ceria‐mesoporous oxide supports. The gold catalysts supported on ceria‐modified mesoporous ZrO2 displayed superior catalytic activity (~100%conversion of CO at 10 °C and CH3OH at 60 °C). The high catalytic activity can be attributed to the ability of the sup‐port to assist oxygen vacancies formation. The studies indicate that the ceria‐modified mesoporous oxide supports have potential as supports for gold‐based catalysts.

Extensions in the synthesis and catalytic application of titanium silicalite-1

Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) was prepared by microwave heating of a SiO₂–TiO₂ xerogel, which was dry-impregnated with tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH). Highly crystalline product was obtained, with the yields higher than 90%, within 30 min after microwave irradiation. These are significant advantages over the conventional oven heating using alkoxide precursors in liquid phase, which requires 1-2 day crystallization time with low product yields. Sub-micron sized SiO₂–TiO₂ prepared by thermal plasma process and Ti-containing mesoporous silica, Ti-HMS, were also tested as the solid phase precursor for TS-1. These were found inferior as precursor due to difficulties in uniformly wetting the surface with TPAOH. It was possible to prepare TS-1 using diethoxysiloxane-ethyltitanate (DESET, 93.75 mol Si:6.25 mol Ti) as a single mixed alkoxide precursor, but titanium species in the sample were highly unstable and large fraction of them came out from the framework to form TiO₂ clusters upon calcination. In addition, TS-1 monolith was prepared utilizing polyurethane foam as an infiltration medium of the synthesis gel. The prepared TS-1 monolith exhibited properties similar to those of TS-1 powders, but the elementary unit of the former was made of 1–2 micron-sized hexagonal shaped crystals, causing diffusion problems. Catalytic activities of all the prepared catalysts were evaluated using 1-hexene epoxidation as a probe reaction, and 2,5-dihydrofuran epoxidation was also examined using TS-1 as an alternative process to make 3,4-epoxytetrahydrofuran.

Study on Chemisorption, Catalytic Behavior, and Stability of Supported Au Catalyst for the Propylene Epoxidation Reaction

The supported Au/TiO2 and Au/TiO2-SiO2 catalysts were prepared by deposition precipitation method. The TPD study reveals that propylene oxide competes with propylene to be adsorbed on the same adsorptive center-Tin site on the surface of the catalyst and that the adsorbing capacity of the catalyst for propylene oxide is larger than that for propylene. Catalytic behavior for propylene epoxidation with H2 and O2 was tested in a micro-reactor. Under typical conditions, the selectivity for propylene oxide is over 87%. The TG curves show that PO successive oxidation cause carbon deposition on the active center and deactivation of the Au catalysts. Because the amounts of Tin site decrease significantly, and consequently the separation between Tin sites increases, the Au/TiO2-SiO2 catalyst is more stable than Au/TiO2.
