Titanium silicalite (TS-1) is used as catalyst in selective oxidation of thiophene by hydrogen peroxide at 333K. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and UV-vis characterization shows the presence of framework titanium in all TS-1 samples we prepared with different SiO2/TiO2 ratio. Catalytic test over these catalysts confirms that framework Ti species does influence the oxidation of thiophene. The role of non-framework titanium was discussed by studying acid treating of the catalyst. If TS-1 is treated using HCl (2mol/1) four times, part of the non-framework titanium species will be washed off and the activity of the catalyst increases greatly. These results suggest that framework titanium was crucial for thiophene oxidation. Non-framework titanium is not the active site, but provides steric hindrance for this reaction. Obvious diffusive restriction on the thiophene oxidation was also observed when using TS-1 with different crystal size.

The propylene epoxidation using supported titanium silicalite TS-1 catalyst was systematically investigated in a fixed bed reactor. Different supports such as SiO2 and Al2O3 were used and two molding methods were adopted to prepare the catalyst. Strip TS-1 catalyst of 1mm

Titanium silicalite (TS-1)was successfully synthesized by using tetra-propylammonium bromide (TPABr) and n-butylamine as the template and the base, respectively. XRD, IR, SEM, 13C CP/MAS NMR, UV-VIS, and UV-Raman techniques were used to characterize the synthesized products. The results show that TS-1 has MFI structure with high crystallinity and large crystal size, and with two kinds of titanium species. Using epoxidation of propylene as the probe, the catalytic properties of TS-1 in the present work were investigated. The crystal size of TS-1 affects much the initial reaction rate of propylene oxide (PO) formation. The effects of reaction conditions on PO reveal that the PO formation is greatly influenced by the solvent and the solution pH value. Methanol is the most preferable solvent, and a portion of water (<30%) in solution does not have much impact on the reaction. Moreover, the addition of base used to neutralize the residual acidity of the catalyst favor the reaction, the catalyst shows high activity and selectivity upon the adequate amount of base and the catalyst can be used repeatedly without regeneration. In the fixed-bed reactor, using ammonium water as the neutralizer, after 200 h of reaction, both the conversion and the utilization of H2O2 is about 95%, the selectivity of PO is about 90%.

The titanium species existing in titanium silicalite TS-1, which is prepared by hydrothermal method, were investigated using chemical analysis, XRD, FT-IR, 29Si MAS NMR, UV-VIS, ESR. It has been observed that several kinds of titanium species may exist in titanium silicalite. The form that titanium atoms incorporate into the framework of titanium silicalite synthesized using etrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) as template differs from that using the classical method. But, the symmetry of titanium silicalite changes from monoclinic to orthorhombic with the increase of titanium content in both methods. The Ti-O2-originated from framework titanium and H2O2 has the moderate stability and may be active site in oxidation reaction. TS-1 synthesized using TPABr as template does not contain anatase, but contains a kind of partly condensed titanium species with six-fold coordination. The titanium species may correspond to 270-280 nm band in UV-VIS spectra and also can form Ti-O2-. But, this kind of Ti-O2-is very stable and cannot be catalytic active site. So, the six-fold coordination titanium species may be inactive in both the oxidation reaction and the decomposition of H2O2. The hypothesis has been further proved by the phenomena that the titanium species is easily washed off using acid, and acid treating will not influence the catalytic performance of TS-1.
