A process for the preparation of crystalline microporous titanium silicates using
ethylsilicate-40 and titanium peroxide as silicon and titanium sources respectively
is described. The process permits a significant decrease in the production cost
of titanium silicate containing higher amount of titanium (Si/Ti=20) because of
cheaper raw materials as well as reduction in the quantity of tetarpropylammonium
hydroxide (TPAOH) template (SiO2:TPAOH=1:0.06-0.1) required for preparation.
The material obtained by the present invention is useful as an active catalyst
in the reactions such as oxidation of hydrocarbons, alcohols, sulphides, and thioethers.
