Abstract:Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) with small crystal size was synthesized in a TPABr-ethylamine system using the mother liquid of nanosized TS-1 as seed. The as-synthesized small-crystal TS-1, the size of which was about 600 nm x 400 nm x 250 nm was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), UV-Raman, N(2) sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Its catalytic performance was evaluated in the epoxidation of propylene and the hydroxylation of phenol. The conversion of hydrogen peroxide and selectivity of propylene oxide (PO) in the propylene epoxidation reached 92 and 98 mol %, respectively. In the hydroxylation of phenol, small-crystal TS-1 also resulted in a high conversion of phenol.
