iron-containing TS-1 zeolites (FTS) were successfully
synthesized via post-treatment desilication over microporous Fe-TS-1,
which were prepared through a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. The
prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, field-emission scanning electron microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,
ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.
The experimental results illustrated that the MFI structure of all
the FTS samples remained unchanged after NaOH desilication and acid
treatment. The newly created mesopores can be controlled by changing
the amount of framework Fe, as the extraction of Si could be affected
because of the inhibitory effect of iron species during the desilication
process. The catalytic performance of the prepared samples in phenol
hydroxylation with H2O2 was investigated. Among
all the samples, FTS-50-D showed a highest phenol conversion of 45.2%
and a dihydroxybenzene selectivity of 95.2%. Besides, FTS-50-D also
showed good reusability for five recycling tests.
