Abstract
Supported phosphotungstic acid SBA-15 were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, transmission electron micrographs (TEM), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). XRD and FT-IR results indicated that the substitution of tungsten occurs in the silicate framework structure of SBA-15. TEM and SEM investigations confirmed the presence of ordered high degree ordering hexagonal structure in the novel PW/SBA-15 material. Their catalytic activity was evaluated in the epoxidation of α-pinene. 2,3-epoxypinane was the main product. The results of epoxidation of α-pinene by PW(40)/SBA-15 were fellows: the conversion rate of α-pinene and the selectivity were 87.61% and 79.90% respectively.
