  • Patent number: 11511260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for an olefin epoxidation catalyst, comprising: (1) preparing a titanium-silicon gel; (2) performing pore-enlarging treatment to the titanium-silicon gel by using organic amine or liquid ammonia, and drying, calcinating to obtain a titanium-silicon composite oxide; (3) optionally performing alcohol solution of organic alkali metal salt treatment; and (4) optionally performing gas-phase silanization treatment. The catalyst prepared by the method of the present invention has adjustable variability for pore size, so that the activity thereof for epoxidation reactions of the olefin molecules with different dynamic diameters is higher; the surface acidity of the catalyst can be reduced effectively through two-step modification to the catalyst, so that the catalyst has higher selectivity for epoxidation product.

  • Patent number: 11291985
    Abstract: A preparation method for a propylene epoxidation catalyst: pre-hydrolyzing a silicon source, adding a titanium source and reacting to form a sol, atomizing the sol and then spraying it into liquid ammonia for molding, implementing pore broadening, and performing drying, calcination, and silanization treatment to obtain a Ti—SiO2 composite oxide catalyst. The present catalyst can be used in the chemical process of preparing propylene oxide by epoxidation of propylene, the average propylene oxide selectivity being up to 97.5%, having prospects for industrial application.

  • Patent number: 11213811
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a preparation method for an olefin epoxidation catalyst and applications thereof. The method comprises: loading an auxiliary metal salt onto a silica gel carrier, and carrying out a drying treatment to the silica gel carrier; loading a titanium salt (preferably TiCl4) onto the silica gel carrier by a chemical vapor deposition method; calcining to obtain a silica gel on which the auxiliary metal oxide and Ti species are loaded; obtaining an catalyst precursor (Ti-MeO—SiO2 composite oxide) by water vapor washing; loading alkyl silicate (preferably tetraethyl orthosilicate) onto the surface of the catalyst precursor by a chemical vapor deposition method and calcining the catalyst precursor to obtain a Ti-MeO—SiO2 composite oxide with the surface coated with a SiO2 layer; and carrying out a silylanization treatment to obtain the catalyst.
