Titanium Containing Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieve for Oxidation of Styrene

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microporous aluminophosphate (AlPO-5) and titanium aluminophosphate (TAPO-5) molecular sieves, which are zeolite-like materials have been synthesized by direct hydrothermal method using two different templates; triethylamine (TEA) as organic base and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as alkali base. XRD patterns confirmed that the TAPO-5 catalysts are identical with AFI structure but the crystallinity of the catalysts had decreased after the incorporation of titanium into the framework. Besides that, characterization of TAPO-5 catalysts using DRUV-Vis confirmed the coordination of titanium species and this evidenced also supported by the result 27Al MAS NMR. Catalytic performance of the TAPO-5 catalysts was tested in the oxidation of styrene to produce benzaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. TAPO-5 catalysts showed higher activity in styrene oxidation compared to AlPO-5. Keywords : zeolite; aluminophosphate; titanium; organic template; styrene
