Synthesis and Characterization of Low Loading MoO3/Ts-1 Catalyst

Abstract

Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) has been introduced to titanium silicalite (TS-1) by impregnation method and has been characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen and pyridine adsorption. The results show that TS-1 and XMoO3/TS-1 have orthorhombic structure and MFI framework structure type. 0.5% MoO3/TS-1 and 1% MoO3/TS-1 catalysts have not yet Brønsted acid sites, while Brønsted acidity increased from 2% MoO3/TS-1 to 4% MoO3/TS-1 respectively.
