Description
Summary:This work presents the studies on the epoxidation of allyl-glycidyl ether (AGE) over the Ti-SBA-15 catalyst. In these studies an aqueous hydrogen peroxide was used as an oxidizing agent and as a solvent methanol was applied. The studies on the influence the following parameters: temperature (20–80°C), molar ratio of AGE/H2O2 (1:1.5–5:1), methanol concentration (10–90 wt%), catalyst content (1–9 wt%) and reaction time (15–240 min.) were carried out and the most favourable values of these parameters were chosen (temperature 80°C, molar ratio of AGE/H2O2 = 5:1, methanol concentration 30 wt%, catalyst content 3 wt% and the reaction time 240 min.). At these conditions the functions describing the process reached the following values: the selectivity of diglycidyl ether (DGE) 9.2 mol%, the conversion of AGE 13.9 mol% and the efficiency of H2O2 conversion 89.9 mol%.
