Abstract
Five catalysts containing PW or W active species that anchored onto aminosilylated mesoporous silica SBA-15 by a post-grafting route were prepared and the resulting PW or W/APTES/SBA-15 hybrid materials were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption, surface area analysis, TEM, FT-IR, and ICP (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy). The names of these catalysts have been abbreviated as SBA-15m-a, SBA-15m-b, SBA-15m-c, SBA-15m-d, and SBA-15m-e according to the different active species. The PW or W active species were highly dispersed in the channels of the modified mesoporous materials. The interaction between PW or W species and amino groups grafted on the channel surface of SBA-15 led to the immobilization of PW or W species. Their catalytic activity in the epoxidation of cyclooctene with H2O2 as oxidant was investigated. Among them, SBA-15m-a showed the best performance, with 98.9% conversion and 98.4% selectivity. The catalyst could be reused for six times with a little decrease in activity.
