Abstract
The invention relates to a material comprised of silicotitanates having a crystalline structure similar to MCM-41 zeolites, said material being characterized in that it contains in its lattice atoms of titanium and channels in its porous structure whose average sizes exceed 10 .ANG., making possible its utilization in catalytic reactions wherein are involved large organic molecules, such as the oxidation of olefins to epoxides and glycols, alcohols to cetones, thio-ethers to sulfoxides and sulfones, and phenol to catechol and hydroquinone, and if Al is introduced into the structure it is then possible to prepare bifunctional catalysts 'oxidant-acid/base.' In order to obtain such product, and aqueous solution is used which contains the ion NR.sub.1 N.sub.2 N.sub.3 N.sub.4.sup.+ as well as another aqueous solution which contains tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide and a silica source (e.g. aerosil.RTM.. After homogenization, more silica is added, as is the Ti source �e.g. Ti(C.sub.2 OH.sub.5).sub.4 !. The resultant gel is heated in an autoclave at a temperature between 80.degree. and 200.degree. C. It is used for catalytic oxidation.
