These mesoporous titanosilicates (Si/Ti = 20-80) were prepared by a direct hydrothermal synthesis route adjusting the concentration of HCl (0.05-2 M) used in the synthesis. Ti ions in these catalysts were mostly substituted for Si in the framework. Water adsorption and Si-29 magic-angle spin nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that Ti-SBA-16 is more hydrophobic than Ti-SBA-12. Mesoporosity, three-dimensional architecture, surface hydrophobicity and easy access of Lewis acidic, framework-substituted Ti sites are the factors responsible for the superior activity of Ti-SBA-16 compared to Ti-SBA-12 and the hitherto known solid catalysts for this reaction.

These catalysts showed catalytic activity higher than the hitherto known titanosilicates for the oxidation of cyclic olefins (cyclohexene and cyclooctene) with tert.-butyl hydroperoxide. An epoxide selectivity of 100% and olefin conversion greater than 92% were obtained. Cubic Ti-SBA-16 with interconnected cage-like mesopore structure was more active than hexagonal Ti-SBA-12. X-ray diffraction and diffuse reflectance UV-vis, Fourier transform infrared, Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies provided evidence for the substitution of Ti4+ (for Si4+) in the framework locations. The catalytic activity correlated with the concentration of framework-substituted, tetrahedral Ti4+ ions. Easy accessibility of the active sites and the three-dimensional mesoporous structure are the possible causes for the superior activity of these titanosilicate catalysts. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V.

The reactions were conducted using 30% aqueous H2O2 as oxidant. The catalysts of this work are more efficient than the hitherto known mesoporous Ti-silicates. They are more para-product selective than TS-1 and other titanosilicates. Ti-SBA-12 exhibited higher activity and hydroquinone/catechol selectivity (by nearly two times) than Ti-SBA-16. H2O2 efficiency of similar to 90 mol% was obtained. Our study reveals that framework substituted Ti with pseudo-tetrahedral geometry, three-dimensional mesoporosity as well as surface structure are the unique features responsible for the high catalytic activity and selectivity of these titanosilicate catalysts.

Biodiesel was prepared by esterification of oleic acid with monohydric methanol and biolubricants by esterification with polyhydric alcohols (glycerol, trimethylolpropane, neopentyl glycol and pentaerythritol). High catalytic activity of these catalysts is attributed to the presence of dispersed Lewis acidic Ti sites and mesoporosity in the structure. Biodiesel yields as high as 90 mol% were obtained at 443 K. Surface hydrophobicity of the catalyst has also a predominant role, especially, in reactions involving polyhydric alcohols. In those reactions, Ti-SBA-16 showed higher catalytic activity than Ti-SBA-12. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
