Abstract:
Hierarchical TS-1 has been synthesized in the presence of cationic organosilane surfactant.The material is characterized with XRD,TEM,N_2 adsorption isotherm.The results show that the hierarchical TS-1 aggregates consist of small primary units with sizes of 20-30 nm.The BET surface area increases from 420 to 513 m~2/g compared to conventional TS-1 zeolite.The sample is shown to be more active in epoxidation of cyclohexene than conventional TS-1.
