摘要
Epoxidation of propylene to propylene oxide(PO)with hydrogen peroxide(HPPO)is an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient process in which titanosilicates are used as catalysts.Ti-MWW is a potential industrial catalyst for this process,which involves the addition of HPPO to PO.The silanol groups generated during secondary crystallization unavoidably result in ring-opening of PO and inefficient decomposition of HPPO,which diminish the PO selectivity and the lifespan of Ti-MWW.To address this issue,we conducted post-treatment modifications of the structured Bf-Ti-MWW catalyst with potassium fluoride aqueous solutions.By quenching the silanol groups with potassium fluoride and implanting electron-withdrawing fluoride groups into the Ti-MWW framework,both the catalytic activity and HPPO utilization efficiency were increased.Moreover,the ring opening reaction of PO was prohibited.In a continuous fixed-bed liquid-phase propylene epoxidation reaction,the KF-treated structured Ti-MWW catalyst displayed an exceptionally long lifespan of 2700 h,with a PO yield of 590 g·kg^(-1)·h^(-1).
