Novel Alumophosphate-based Gold Catalysts for the Direct Propene Epoxidation
Propene oxide is an important intermediate in chemical industry. Amongst others it is needed for the production of various plastics. As currently applied processes for the production of propene oxide either generate large amounts of undesired by-products or are highly expensive regarding the reactants introduced to the process, it is desirable to epoxidate propene directly by aerial oxygen. It has been shown that this is possible by the use of supported gold catalysts. This contribution engages in the question to which extent titanium substituted alumophosphates are suitable as support for this kind of catalysts.
