Propylene epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide on titanosilicates with different Si/Ti ratios and various states of titanium in the catalysts, prepared by hydrothermal crystallization according to two different procedures, has been investigated. It has been demonstrated that a change in the pH of the crystallizing gel leads to a change in the sequence of titanium insertion in the zeolite structure at a hydrothermal synthesis temperature of 170°C. It was shown that titanium incorporated in the zeolite framework in the tetrahedral positions is an active site in the epoxidation reaction, whereas titanium in the form of titanium dioxide leads to unproductive degradation of hydrogen peroxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
