Preparation of titanium-containing carbon silica composite catalysts and their liquid-phase epoxidation activity
Titanium-containing catalysts have been prepared by two different post-synthesis methods using activated carbon and carbon silica composite as catalyst supports. They have been applied to the liquid-phase epoxidation of cyclohexene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and H2O2. The carbon silica composite catalyst showed a high conversion and selectivity to epoxide compared to the Ti-carbon catalyst and silica-based catalysts for the cyclohexene epoxidation with H2O2. The highest values of cyclohexene conversion and epoxide selectivity were obtained with the carbon silica composite catalyst having a titanium content of 3 wt%.
