摘要
In order to investigate the rules on formation of zeolite during crystallization of titanium silicalite zeolite (TS-1) the X-ray diffractometry and Foulier transform infra-red spectrometry were applied to track the process of crystallization of titanium silicalite zeolite. The research results revealed that at the initial stage of crystallization the interactions between silica gel and titania gel in the polymer blend could gradually lead to the formation of tiny crystal nuclei with complicated structure that could slowly grow up to form molecular sieves. Quite different from the conventional zeolites that use the acid sites as the catalytically active centers, the oxidative reactivity of the titanium silicalite zeolite was not proportional to its crystallinity and is associated with the oxidative centers of titanium contained in the zeolite.
