Catalysts based on titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons The present invention relates to supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, a process for their preparation and their use as a catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydro-carbons. The catalytically active compositions show high selectivities and producti-vities.
The direct oxidation of ethene to ethene oxide by molecular oxygen is well-known and is used commercially for the production of ethene oxide in the gas phase.
The typical catalyst for this use comprises metallic or ionic silver, possibly also modified with various promoters and activators. Most of these catalysts comprise a porous, inert catalyst support of low surface area, such as e.g. alpha-aluminium oxide, on to 1 S which silver and promoters have been applied. An overview of the direct oxidation of ethene in the presence of supported silver catalysts has been compiled by Sachtler et al. in Catalysis Reviews: Science and Engineering, 23 (1&2), 127-149 (1981).
It is also known that these silver catalysts and the reaction conditions which have proved to be favourable for ethene oxide production do not lead to comparably good results in the direct oxidation of higher olefins, such as propene (US 5 763 630, US 5 703 254 and US 5 760 254), and maximum propene oxide selectivities of approx.
5O% are achieved. In general, direct oxidations of these higher olefins with molecu-lar oxygen in the gas phase do not proceed below 200°C - even in the presence of catalysts - and it is therefore difficult to prepare oxidation-sensitive oxidation prod-ucts, such as epoxides, selectively since the secondary reactions of these products often proceed faster than the oxidation of the olefins employed itself.
Another prob-lem results from the sensitivity of the allyl groups present in higher olefins to oxida-tion.
For this reason, propene oxide is currently prepared in the chemical industry exclu-sively in the liquid phase by an indirect route.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The patent US S 623 090 describes a gas phase direct oxidation of propene to pro-pene oxide with relatively low propene conversions (0.5-1% propene conversion, based on a 10% propene feed concentration) but propene oxide selectivities of > 90%. This is a gas phase oxidation with molecular oxygen and hydrogen catalysed by gold/titanium dioxide at temperatures of 40-80°C. Commercially available tita-nium dioxide (anatase) coated with nanoscale gold particles is used as the catalyst.
More drastic reaction conditions, such as e.g. increasing the temperature to >100°C
or increasing the pressure, do not lead to an increase in productivity. In addition to the relatively low propene conversions, this process has the great disadvantage that all the catalysts deactivate severely in the course of time. Typical half lives under normal pressure at 50°C are 30-150 minutes. The increase in temperature and/or pressure described shorten the half lives further.
Catalysts in which gold particles are applied to a support comprising dispersed tita nium centres on an inorganic silicon matrix are also known (WO 98 00415 A1; WO
98 00414 A I and EP 0 827 779 A1). All these materials obtained by impregnation with subsequent calcining show relatively low propene conversions, they deactivate in the course of time (typical half lives are 5-SO h), and therefore cannot be employed in large-scale industrial plants.
Catalysts in which gold particles are applied to microporous, crystalline matrix sili-cates of defined pore structure in which silicon tetrahedral spaces are substituted isomorphically by titanium (e.g. TS-l, TS-2, Ti zeolites, such as Ti-Beta, Ti-ZSM-48, or titanium-containing, mesoporous molecular sieves, such as e.g., Ti-MCM-or Ti-HMS) are furthermore known (WO 9800413 Al). Although all these gold-silicalite or gold-zeolite structures show good selectivities, the conversions of the hydrocarbons and above all the catalyst lives are completely inadequate for use in the chemical industry.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The processes described for the catalyst preparation are extremely unsatisfactory in respect of catalyst activity and life. For industrial processes which operate with catalysts of low activity, enormous reactors are required. Short catalyst lives mean a loss of production during the regeneration phase or require a redundant, cost-inten-live production route.
It is known to employ organic-inorganic hybrid materials on the basis of carbo-siloxanes as components of coatings (e.g. EP-A-743 313).
A development of new catalysts which can achieve high activities with excellent se-lectivities and with lives which are of interest industrially is thus desirable.
An object of the present invention was thus to provide new catalysts with high ac-tivities with simultaneously excellent selectivities.
Another object was to develop a process for the preparation of these catalysts.
Another object was to provide a technologically simple gas phase process for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons with a gaseous oxidizing agent on these cata-lysts, which leads to high yields and low costs at high activities, very high selectivi-ties and catalyst lives which are of interest industrially.
Another object was to provide an alternative catalyst for the direct oxidation of hy-drocarbons.
Another object was to at least partly eliminate the disadvantages of the known cata-lysts.
These objects are achieved according to the invention by supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Organic-inorganic hybrid materials in the context of the invention are organically modified amorphous glasses, which are preferably formed in sol-gel processes via hydrolysis and condensation reactions of usually low molecular weight compounds S and contain bridging organic groups in the network. They contain at least one struc-tural element of the formula (I) [R']j-SlRzk(O1/2)4-k-j (I) wherein j isl,2or3and k represents 0, 1 or 2 and k+j<_3 R' is a C~- to C,o-alkylene radical bridging Si atoms and Rz represents an optionally substituted alkyl or aryl radical.
The organic-inorganic hybrid materials preferably contain a structural element of the formula (II) [R']j-SiRzk(Ooz)a-k-j (II) wherein j is l, k represents 0, 1 or 2 and k+j<3 R' is a C,- to C4-alkylene radical bridging Si atoms and Rz is a methyl or ethyl radical.
The formulation "O~iz" in the formulae (I) and (II) designates bridging, difunctional oxygen, that is to say e.g. a structural element Si-O-Si or Si-O-Ti.
The alkylene radical R' in the formulae (I) and (II) is preferably linked with a chain-like, star-shaped (branched), cage-like or, particularly preferably, cyclic structural Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries element. The cyclic structural element can be, for example, [-O-Si(CH3)-]3 or [-O-Si(CH3)-]4.
Alkylene radical is understood as meaning all the alkylene, arylene or alkylarylene radicals having in the range from 1 to 10 C atoms known to the person skilled in the art, such as methylene, ethylene, n-propylene, i-propylene, n-butylene, i-butylene, t-butylene, n-pentylene, i-pentylene, neo-pentylene, n-hexylene, cyclohexylene, i-hex-ylene, heptylene, octylene, nonylene, decylene and phenylene, it being possible for the radicals to be cyclic or in the form of branched or unbranched chains and to be optionally substituted. Possible substituents are all the radicals which do not react adversely with a catalyst component, such as e.g. titanium or a promoter, such as e.g.
alkyl, aryl or alkoxy radicals.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the organic-inorganic hybrid materials contain one or more of the following structural elements:
a) Slj(CZH4)S1(CH3)2(O~/2)]4 b) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(CH3)2(0~,2)]}a C) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(CH3) (O,/z)z]}a d) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(O,/2)3]}a The organic-inorganic hybrid materials in the context of the invention comprise be-tween 0.1 and 6 wt.% titanium, preferably between 0.8 and 5 wt.%, particularly pref erably between 1.0 and 4 wt.%. The titanium is present in oxidic form and is preferably incorporated or bonded chemically into the organic-inorganic hybrid ma-terial via Si-O-Ti bonds.
The catalytic activity of these materials appears to be able to be increased non-line-arty with the total titanium content at higher titanium contents. This has indicated to Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries us that not all the titanium centres have the same catalytic activity. We assume that in active catalysts titanium is bonded to silicon via heterosiloxane bonds.
In addition to titanium, the organic-inorganic hybrid materials according to the in-S vention can comprise further foreign oxides, so-called promoters, from group 5 of the period table according to IUPAC (1985), such as vanadium, niobium and tantalum, particularly preferably tantalum, group 8, particularly preferably Fe, metals of group 15, such as arsenic, antimony and bismuth, particularly preferably antimony, and metals of group 13, such as boron, aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium, par ticularly preferably aluminium and boron.
These promoters are for the most part present in homogeneous form, i.e. with little formation of domains. The incorporated promoters "M" are present in the organic-inorganic hybrid materials in highly disperse form and are mostly bonded via ele-ment-O-Si bonds. The chemical composition of these materials can vary over wide ranges. The proportion of the promoter element is in the range of 0-10%.
Several different promoters can of course also be employed. The promoters are preferably employed in the form of promoter precursor compounds which are soluble in the particular solvent, such as promoter salts or organic promoter compounds.
These promoters can increase both the catalytic activity of the composition and the life of the composition during catalytic oxidation reactions on hydrocarbons.
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials of high specific surface area are preferred. The specific surface area should be at least 1 mz/g, preferably in the range of 25 700 m2/g.
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with a modified surface are furthermore pre-ferred. Modified surface in the context of the invention means that the content of surface silanol groups has been reduced by covalent or coordinate bonding of groups Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries chosen from silicon-alkyl, silicon-aryl, fluorine-containing alkyl and/or fluorine-containing aryl groups.
The supported composition according to the invention comprises gold and/or silver on the organic-inorganic hybrid material as the support material. In the catalytically active state, gold and/or silver are chiefly present as the elemental metal (analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy). Small gold and/or silver contents can also be pres-ent in a higher oxidation state. Judging by TEM photographs, the largest proportion of the gold and/or silver present is on the surface of the support material.
It is in the form of clusters of gold and/or silver on the nanometre scale. The gold particles preferably have a diameter in the range from 0.5 to SO nm, preferably 0.5 to 15 nm, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 10 nm. The silver particles preferably have a di-ameter in the range from 0.5 to 100 nm, preferably 0.5 to 40 nm, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 20 nm.
The gold concentration should be in the range from 0.001 to 4 wt.%, preferably 0.001 to 2 wt.%, and particularly preferably 0.005-1.5 wt.%.
The silver concentration should be in the range from 0.005 to 20 wt.%, preferably 0.01 to 15 wt.%, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 10 wt.%.
Higher gold and/or silver concentrations than the ranges mentioned do not have the effect of increasing the catalytic activity. For economic reasons, the noble metal content should be the minimum amount necessary to achieve the highest catalyst activity.
The objects described are furthermore achieved by a process for the preparation of the supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and Ti-con-taining, organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries _g-The Ti-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials are prepared via sol-gel proc-esses. This preparation is effected, for example, by mixing suitable, usually low molecular weight compounds in a solvent, after which the hydrolysis and/or conden-sation reactions are initiated by addition of water and optionally catalysts (e.g. acids, bases and/or organometallic compounds). The procedure of such sol-gel processes is known in principle to the person skilled in the art.
Suitable low molecular weight compounds are e.g. organic-inorganic binders and precursors of silicon, titanium and promoter. Low molecular weight in the context of the invention means monomeric or oligomeric.
The sol-gel process is based on the polycondensation of hydrolysed, colloidally dis-solved metal component mixtures (sol) to form an amorphous, three-dimensional network (gel). The following equation serves as an illustration of this IS

acid base RO ~Si-OR + RO ~Si-OR -...~ Soi --.~..OSiO ~Si-O-S~ OSiO..
R0 RO hydrolysis condensation ~~OSiO OSiO..
gel network Suitable starting materials are organic-inorganic binders and all the soluble titanium and silicon compounds known to the person skilled in the art which can be used as a precursor for the corresponding oxides or hydroxides, such as the corresponding alk-oxides, soluble salts and organotitanium or -silicon compounds.
Although all salts, such as e.g. halides, nitrates and hydroxides, can be used, the alk-oxides, e.g. ethoxide, propoxide etc., of these metals are preferred.
Organic-inorganic binders in the context of the invention are polyfunctional organo-silanes, e.g. polyfunctional silanols and/or alkoxides having at least 2 silicon atoms bridged via a C 1 to C 10-alkylene radical.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Preferred organic-inorganic binders which may be mentioned are:
a) Si[(CZH4)Si(OH)(CH3)z]a b) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OH)(CH3)z]}a C) cyclo-{OSl(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OCZHS)Z(CHj)]}4 d) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OCH3)(CH3)2]}a e) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CzH4)Si(OCzHS)3]}a Syntheses of organic-inorganic binders and processes for carrying out sol-gel proc-esses with these are described, for example, in EP 0 743 313, EP 0 787 734 and WO
98/52992.
Suitable silicon precursors are, for example, silicon alkoxides, such as e.g.
Si(OCZHS)4, Si(OCH3)4, (H3C)Si(OCzHS)3 and (C6H5)Si(OCzHs)3. Instead of monomeric alkoxides, condensation products thereof can also be used.
Si(OCZHS)a condensates e.g. are commercially obtainable. Polymeric systems, such as e.g.
poly(diethoxysiloxane), can furthermore also be employed.
Suitable titanium precursor compounds as catalytic titanium species are known from the prior art, such as soluble titanium salts (e.g. titanium halides, nitrates and sul fates), titanium salts of inorganic or organic acids and titanic acid esters.
Titanium derivatives, such as tetraalkyl titanates with alkyl groups of C1-C6, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl etc., or other organic titanium species, such as titanyl acetylacetonate and dicyclopentadienyltitanium dichloride, are preferably used. Tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate, titanium acetylacetonate, titanocene dichloride and titanium tetrachloride are preferred titanium precursor compounds.
The titanium precursor compounds can also be employed in the presence of com-plexing components, such as e.g. acetylacetone or ethyl acetoacetate.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Suitable promoter precursor compounds are, for example, promoter salts, promoter complex compounds, organic promoter compounds or promoter alkoxides. Alkoxide compounds are preferably employed.
S Preferred solvents for the sol-gel process are alcohols, such as e.g.
methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol, ketones, such as e.g. acetone, and ethers, such as e.g. THF or tert-butyl methyl ether.
In principle, any procedure known to the person skilled in the art for sol-gel proc-esses is possible for synthesis of the T'i-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materi-als according to the invention. -Si-O-Ti- groups are generated, for example, by si-multaneous hydrolysis and/or condensation of Si precursors and Ti precursors, by reaction of the organic-inorganic binders with Ti precursors, optionally with subse-quent addition of the Si precursors, or by simultaneous reaction of organic-inorganic binders, Ti precursors and Si precursors.
In a preferred embodiment, the Si precursor is initially introduced into a solvent and partly hydrolysed with a deficit of water, based on the amount needed theoretically, and with the addition of a catalyst, the Ti compound is then added, further water is added, optionally with catalyst, and the organic-inorganic binder is then added.
After the gel formation, which can take place after a few minutes to some days, de-pending on the composition, the catalyst, the amount of water and the temperature, the gel is dried immediately or after an ageing period of up to 30 days. To bring the hydrolysis and condensation reactions to completion, one or more treatments of the moist and/or already dried gel with an excess of water or water vapour can optionally be carried out. Drying is preferably carried out between 50 and 250°C, particularly preferably between 100 and 180°C.
The materials can optionally be comminuted to powders (e.g. by grinding) before or after the drying or employed as shaped bodies.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries -II-The noble metals can be added in the form of precursors compounds, such as salts or organic complexes, or compounds during the sol-gel process, or applied in a known manner, e.g. by impregnation or precipitation, after preparation of the gel.
Surface modification of the composition optionally follows this step.
The surface modification can be carried out both before and after the coating with noble metal.
Modification in the context of the invention is understood as meaning, in particular, application of groups chosen from silicon-alkyl, silicon-aryl, fluorine-containing alkyl or fluorine-containing aryl groups to the surface of the supported composition, the groups being bonded to the functional groups (e.g. OH groups) on the surface by covalent or coordinate bonds. However, any other surface treatment is also expressly I S included in the scope of the invention.
The modification is preferably carried out with organosilicon and/or fluorine-con-taming organosilicon or organic compounds, organosilicon compounds being pre-ferred.
Possible organosilicon compounds are all the silylating agents known to the person skilled in the art, such as organic silanes, organic silylamines, organic silylamides and derivatives thereof, organic silazanes, organic siloxanes and other organosilicon compounds, which of course can also be employed in combination. Compounds of silicon and partly fluorinated or perfluorinated organic radicals are also expressly subsumed under organosilicon compounds.

Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Preferred silylating reagents are hexamethyldisilazane, hexamethyldisiloxane, N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) and trimethylchlorosi-lane.
S The supported compositions according to the invention comprising particles of gold and/or silver and Ti-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials can be described in the dried state, by approximation, by the following empirical formula (the radicals on the surface formed after modification and any incompletely reacted groups are not taken into account here):
HybxSiOzxTiO2xMOzxE (III) Hyb in the formula (III) denotes the constituents formed from the organic-inorganic binder in the sol-gel process, M is a promoter, preferably Ta, Fe, Sb, A1 or combina-tions thereof, x, y, z are the numbers needed effectively to satisfy the valencies of Si, Ti and M and E is the noble metal.
Based on silicon oxide, the content of Hyb in mole percent can be between 0.05 and 200%. It is preferably between 0.5 and 8.0%, and more preferably between 1.0 and 7.0%. Based on silicon oxide, the content of MoZ is between 0 and 12 mole%.
Based on the composition free of noble metals, the content of E is between 0.001 and wt.%. In the case of gold it is preferably between 0.001 and 2 wt.% and in the case of silver preferably between 0.01 and 15 wt.%.
Surprisingly, we have found that the supported compositions according to the inven-tion show a catalytic activity which is higher by several orders of magnitude and good catalysts lives compared with the catalyst systems known to date for the cata-lytic oxidation of alkenes and alkanes.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The object described is therefore further achieved by the use of the supported compo-sitions according to the invention for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, and the inven-tion also provides this use.
The catalysts which have become partly deactivated after a long time can be regener-ated again both thermally (up to 250°C) and by washing with suitable solvents, such as e.g. alcohols, or with dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions (e.g. 8% Hz02-methanol solution).
The composition according to the invention can in principle be applied to all hydro-carbons. The term hydrocarbon is understood as meaning unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbons, such as olefins or alkanes, which can also contain heteroatoms, such as N, O, P, S or halogens. The organic component to be oxidized can be acyclic monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, and can be monoolefinic, diolefmic or polyole-finic. In the case of organic components with two or more double bonds, the double bonds can be present in conjugated and non-conjugated form. Hydrocarbons which are preferably oxidized are those from which oxidation products are formed which have a partial pressure sufficiently low for constant removal of the product from the catalyst. Unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons having 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 10 carbon atoms, in particular ethene, ethane, propene, propane, isobutane, isobutylene, 1-butene, 2-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, pentene, pentane, 1-hexene, 1-hexane, hexadienes, cyclohexene and benzene, are preferred.
The organic-inorganic hybrid materials allow a type of "catalyst design", i.e.
a com-prehensive and at the same time controlled influencing of the material properties, such as e.g. the hydrophobicity (polarity) and/or the porosity. Surprisingly, this leads to significantly improved catalysts. The surface polarities have an effect directly on the activities and selectivities of the catalysts. The hydrophobicity of these materials is determined decisively by the number and nature of terminal and above all bridging Si-C bonds. Compared with other organic bonds, such as e.g. Si-O-C bonds, these Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries have the additional advantage that they are to a large degree chemically inert, i.e. are insensitive to hydrolysis and oxidation reactions.
In contrast to this, a common feature of all previously known catalysts is the applica-tion of gold particles to purely inorganic support materials. Although influencing of the surface polarity is conceivable with these by subsequent modification of the sur-face, e.g. by application of terminal silicon-alkyl groups, this is possible to only a very limited extent, inter alia depending on the number of reactive groups on the sur-face (e.g. Si-OH).
The supported compositions can be employed here for oxidation reactions in any desired physical form, e.g. ground powders, spherical particles, pellets, extrudates, granules etc.
A preferred use is the use for the gas phase oxidation of hydrocarbons, in particular olefins, in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen and the supported compositions ac cording to the invention. In this process epoxides are obtained selectively from ole fins, ketones are obtained selectively from saturated secondary hydrocarbons and alcohols are obtained selectively from saturated tertiary hydrocarbons. The catalyst lives are some days, months or longer, depending on the educt used.
The relative molar ratio of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and optionally a diluent gas can be varied within wide ranges.
The molar amount of hydrocarbon employed with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas can be varied within wide ranges. An excess of hydrocarbon, based on the oxygen employed (on a molar ba-sis), is preferably employed. The hydrocarbon content is typically greater than 1 mol% and less than 60 mol%. Hydrocarbon contents in the range of S-35 mol%, particularly preferably 10-30 mol%, are preferably employed. As the hydrocarbon Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries contents increase, productivity is increased and the combustion of hydrogen is re-duced.
The oxygen can be employed in the most diverse forms, e.g. molecular oxygen, air S and nitrogen oxide. Molecular oxygen is preferred. The molar oxygen content -with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas - can be varied within wide ranges. The oxygen is preferably employed in a mo-lar deficit with respect to the hydrocarbon. Oxygen is preferably employed in the range of 1-12 mol%, particularly preferably 6-12 mol%. As the oxygen contents increase, the productivity is increased. For safety reasons, an oxygen content of less than 20 mol% should be chosen.
In the absence of hydrogen, the supported compositions according to the invention show only a very low activity and selectivity. Up to 180°C, the productivity in the absence of hydrogen is low, and at temperatures greater than 200°C
large amounts of carbon dioxide are formed, in addition to partial oxidation products. Any known source of hydrogen can be used, such as e.g. molecular hydrogen from the dehydro-genation of hydrocarbons and alcohols. In another embodiment of the invention, the hydrogen can also be generated in situ in a preceding reactor, e.g. by dehydrogena-tion of propane or isobutane or alcohols, such as e.g. isobutanol. The hydrogen can also be introduced into the reaction system as a species bonded in a complex, e.g. a catalyst-hydrogen complex. The molar hydrogen content - with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas - can be varied within wide ranges. Typical hydrogen contents are greater than 0.1 mol%, preferably 5-80 mol%, particularly preferably 10-65 mol%. As the hydrogen contents increase, the productivity is increased.
A diluent gas, such as nitrogen, helium, argon, methane, carbon dioxide or similar gases which are inert, can optionally also be employed in addition to the essentially necessary educt gases described above. Mixtures of the inert components described can also be employed. The inert component additive is favourable for transportation Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries of the heat liberated from this exothermic oxidation reaction and from safety aspects.
If the process according to the invention is carried out in the gas phase, gaseous dilu-ent components, such as e.g. nitrogen, helium, argon, methane and possibly water vapour and carbon dioxide, are preferably used. Although water vapour and carbon dioxide are not completely inert, they have a positive effect at very low concentra-tions (< 2 vol.%).
If the invention is carried out in the liquid phase, an oxidation-stable and thermally stable inert liquid is expediently chosen (e.g. alcohols, polyalcohols, polyethers and halogenated hydrocarbons). The supported compositions according to the invention are also suitable for the oxidation of hydrocarbons in the liquid phase. Both in the presence of organic hydroperoxides (R-OOH), olef ns are converted into epoxides in the liquid phase highly selectively on the catalysts described, and in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen olefins are converted into epoxides in the liquid phase highly selectively on the catalysts described.
We have found that the selective oxidation reaction described above has a high sen-sitivity to the catalyst structure. When nanodisperse particles of gold and/or silver were present in the supported composition, an increase in the productivity to give the selective oxidation product was observed.
The spatially close interaction of gold and/or silver and titanium oxide (perimetric interface) on the organic-inorganic support operates particularly efficiently, i.e. ex-cellent epoxidation catalysts in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen are obtained.
The activity of the catalysts and the catalyst life can optionally be increased further by incorporation of small amounts of promoters, e.g. foreign metals, above all by incorporation of tantalum and/or iron and/or antimony and/or aluminium. The com-positions according to the invention can be prepared on an industrial scale without process technology problems and inexpensively.

It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the following examples.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Examples Instructions for testing the catalysts (test instructions) A metal tube reactor of 10 mm internal diameter and 20 cm length which was tem-perature-controlled by means of an oil thermostat was employed. The reactor was supplied with educt gases with a set of four mass flow regulators (hydrocarbon, oxy-gen, hydrogen, nitrogen).

Catalysts based on titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons The present invention relates to supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, a process for their preparation and their use as a catalyst for the selective oxidation of hydro-carbons. The catalytically active compositions show high selectivities and producti-vities.
The direct oxidation of ethene to ethene oxide by molecular oxygen is well-known and is used commercially for the production of ethene oxide in the gas phase.
The typical catalyst for this use comprises metallic or ionic silver, possibly also modified with various promoters and activators. Most of these catalysts comprise a porous, inert catalyst support of low surface area, such as e.g. alpha-aluminium oxide, on to 1 S which silver and promoters have been applied. An overview of the direct oxidation of ethene in the presence of supported silver catalysts has been compiled by Sachtler et al. in Catalysis Reviews: Science and Engineering, 23 (1&2), 127-149 (1981).
It is also known that these silver catalysts and the reaction conditions which have proved to be favourable for ethene oxide production do not lead to comparably good results in the direct oxidation of higher olefins, such as propene (US 5 763 630, US 5 703 254 and US 5 760 254), and maximum propene oxide selectivities of approx.
5O% are achieved. In general, direct oxidations of these higher olefins with molecu-lar oxygen in the gas phase do not proceed below 200°C - even in the presence of catalysts - and it is therefore difficult to prepare oxidation-sensitive oxidation prod-ucts, such as epoxides, selectively since the secondary reactions of these products often proceed faster than the oxidation of the olefins employed itself.
Another prob-lem results from the sensitivity of the allyl groups present in higher olefins to oxida-tion.
For this reason, propene oxide is currently prepared in the chemical industry exclu-sively in the liquid phase by an indirect route.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The patent US S 623 090 describes a gas phase direct oxidation of propene to pro-pene oxide with relatively low propene conversions (0.5-1% propene conversion, based on a 10% propene feed concentration) but propene oxide selectivities of > 90%. This is a gas phase oxidation with molecular oxygen and hydrogen catalysed by gold/titanium dioxide at temperatures of 40-80°C. Commercially available tita-nium dioxide (anatase) coated with nanoscale gold particles is used as the catalyst.
More drastic reaction conditions, such as e.g. increasing the temperature to >100°C
or increasing the pressure, do not lead to an increase in productivity. In addition to the relatively low propene conversions, this process has the great disadvantage that all the catalysts deactivate severely in the course of time. Typical half lives under normal pressure at 50°C are 30-150 minutes. The increase in temperature and/or pressure described shorten the half lives further.
Catalysts in which gold particles are applied to a support comprising dispersed tita nium centres on an inorganic silicon matrix are also known (WO 98 00415 A1; WO
98 00414 A I and EP 0 827 779 A1). All these materials obtained by impregnation with subsequent calcining show relatively low propene conversions, they deactivate in the course of time (typical half lives are 5-SO h), and therefore cannot be employed in large-scale industrial plants.
Catalysts in which gold particles are applied to microporous, crystalline matrix sili-cates of defined pore structure in which silicon tetrahedral spaces are substituted isomorphically by titanium (e.g. TS-l, TS-2, Ti zeolites, such as Ti-Beta, Ti-ZSM-48, or titanium-containing, mesoporous molecular sieves, such as e.g., Ti-MCM-or Ti-HMS) are furthermore known (WO 9800413 Al). Although all these gold-silicalite or gold-zeolite structures show good selectivities, the conversions of the hydrocarbons and above all the catalyst lives are completely inadequate for use in the chemical industry.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The processes described for the catalyst preparation are extremely unsatisfactory in respect of catalyst activity and life. For industrial processes which operate with catalysts of low activity, enormous reactors are required. Short catalyst lives mean a loss of production during the regeneration phase or require a redundant, cost-inten-live production route.
It is known to employ organic-inorganic hybrid materials on the basis of carbo-siloxanes as components of coatings (e.g. EP-A-743 313).
A development of new catalysts which can achieve high activities with excellent se-lectivities and with lives which are of interest industrially is thus desirable.
An object of the present invention was thus to provide new catalysts with high ac-tivities with simultaneously excellent selectivities.
Another object was to develop a process for the preparation of these catalysts.
Another object was to provide a technologically simple gas phase process for the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons with a gaseous oxidizing agent on these cata-lysts, which leads to high yields and low costs at high activities, very high selectivi-ties and catalyst lives which are of interest industrially.
Another object was to provide an alternative catalyst for the direct oxidation of hy-drocarbons.
Another object was to at least partly eliminate the disadvantages of the known cata-lysts.
These objects are achieved according to the invention by supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and titanium-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Organic-inorganic hybrid materials in the context of the invention are organically modified amorphous glasses, which are preferably formed in sol-gel processes via hydrolysis and condensation reactions of usually low molecular weight compounds S and contain bridging organic groups in the network. They contain at least one struc-tural element of the formula (I) [R']j-SlRzk(O1/2)4-k-j (I) wherein j isl,2or3and k represents 0, 1 or 2 and k+j<_3 R' is a C~- to C,o-alkylene radical bridging Si atoms and Rz represents an optionally substituted alkyl or aryl radical.
The organic-inorganic hybrid materials preferably contain a structural element of the formula (II) [R']j-SiRzk(Ooz)a-k-j (II) wherein j is l, k represents 0, 1 or 2 and k+j<3 R' is a C,- to C4-alkylene radical bridging Si atoms and Rz is a methyl or ethyl radical.
The formulation "O~iz" in the formulae (I) and (II) designates bridging, difunctional oxygen, that is to say e.g. a structural element Si-O-Si or Si-O-Ti.
The alkylene radical R' in the formulae (I) and (II) is preferably linked with a chain-like, star-shaped (branched), cage-like or, particularly preferably, cyclic structural Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries element. The cyclic structural element can be, for example, [-O-Si(CH3)-]3 or [-O-Si(CH3)-]4.
Alkylene radical is understood as meaning all the alkylene, arylene or alkylarylene radicals having in the range from 1 to 10 C atoms known to the person skilled in the art, such as methylene, ethylene, n-propylene, i-propylene, n-butylene, i-butylene, t-butylene, n-pentylene, i-pentylene, neo-pentylene, n-hexylene, cyclohexylene, i-hex-ylene, heptylene, octylene, nonylene, decylene and phenylene, it being possible for the radicals to be cyclic or in the form of branched or unbranched chains and to be optionally substituted. Possible substituents are all the radicals which do not react adversely with a catalyst component, such as e.g. titanium or a promoter, such as e.g.
alkyl, aryl or alkoxy radicals.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the organic-inorganic hybrid materials contain one or more of the following structural elements:
a) Slj(CZH4)S1(CH3)2(O~/2)]4 b) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(CH3)2(0~,2)]}a C) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(CH3) (O,/z)z]}a d) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(O,/2)3]}a The organic-inorganic hybrid materials in the context of the invention comprise be-tween 0.1 and 6 wt.% titanium, preferably between 0.8 and 5 wt.%, particularly pref erably between 1.0 and 4 wt.%. The titanium is present in oxidic form and is preferably incorporated or bonded chemically into the organic-inorganic hybrid ma-terial via Si-O-Ti bonds.
The catalytic activity of these materials appears to be able to be increased non-line-arty with the total titanium content at higher titanium contents. This has indicated to Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries us that not all the titanium centres have the same catalytic activity. We assume that in active catalysts titanium is bonded to silicon via heterosiloxane bonds.
In addition to titanium, the organic-inorganic hybrid materials according to the in-S vention can comprise further foreign oxides, so-called promoters, from group 5 of the period table according to IUPAC (1985), such as vanadium, niobium and tantalum, particularly preferably tantalum, group 8, particularly preferably Fe, metals of group 15, such as arsenic, antimony and bismuth, particularly preferably antimony, and metals of group 13, such as boron, aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium, par ticularly preferably aluminium and boron.
These promoters are for the most part present in homogeneous form, i.e. with little formation of domains. The incorporated promoters "M" are present in the organic-inorganic hybrid materials in highly disperse form and are mostly bonded via ele-ment-O-Si bonds. The chemical composition of these materials can vary over wide ranges. The proportion of the promoter element is in the range of 0-10%.
Several different promoters can of course also be employed. The promoters are preferably employed in the form of promoter precursor compounds which are soluble in the particular solvent, such as promoter salts or organic promoter compounds.
These promoters can increase both the catalytic activity of the composition and the life of the composition during catalytic oxidation reactions on hydrocarbons.
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials of high specific surface area are preferred. The specific surface area should be at least 1 mz/g, preferably in the range of 25 700 m2/g.
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with a modified surface are furthermore pre-ferred. Modified surface in the context of the invention means that the content of surface silanol groups has been reduced by covalent or coordinate bonding of groups Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries chosen from silicon-alkyl, silicon-aryl, fluorine-containing alkyl and/or fluorine-containing aryl groups.
The supported composition according to the invention comprises gold and/or silver on the organic-inorganic hybrid material as the support material. In the catalytically active state, gold and/or silver are chiefly present as the elemental metal (analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy). Small gold and/or silver contents can also be pres-ent in a higher oxidation state. Judging by TEM photographs, the largest proportion of the gold and/or silver present is on the surface of the support material.
It is in the form of clusters of gold and/or silver on the nanometre scale. The gold particles preferably have a diameter in the range from 0.5 to SO nm, preferably 0.5 to 15 nm, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 10 nm. The silver particles preferably have a di-ameter in the range from 0.5 to 100 nm, preferably 0.5 to 40 nm, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 20 nm.
The gold concentration should be in the range from 0.001 to 4 wt.%, preferably 0.001 to 2 wt.%, and particularly preferably 0.005-1.5 wt.%.
The silver concentration should be in the range from 0.005 to 20 wt.%, preferably 0.01 to 15 wt.%, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 10 wt.%.
Higher gold and/or silver concentrations than the ranges mentioned do not have the effect of increasing the catalytic activity. For economic reasons, the noble metal content should be the minimum amount necessary to achieve the highest catalyst activity.
The objects described are furthermore achieved by a process for the preparation of the supported compositions comprising particles of gold and/or silver and Ti-con-taining, organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries _g-The Ti-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials are prepared via sol-gel proc-esses. This preparation is effected, for example, by mixing suitable, usually low molecular weight compounds in a solvent, after which the hydrolysis and/or conden-sation reactions are initiated by addition of water and optionally catalysts (e.g. acids, bases and/or organometallic compounds). The procedure of such sol-gel processes is known in principle to the person skilled in the art.
Suitable low molecular weight compounds are e.g. organic-inorganic binders and precursors of silicon, titanium and promoter. Low molecular weight in the context of the invention means monomeric or oligomeric.
The sol-gel process is based on the polycondensation of hydrolysed, colloidally dis-solved metal component mixtures (sol) to form an amorphous, three-dimensional network (gel). The following equation serves as an illustration of this IS
RO\ RO\ acid base ..OSiO\ OSiO..
acid base RO ~Si-OR + RO ~Si-OR -...~ Soi --.~..OSiO ~Si-O-S~ OSiO..
R0 RO hydrolysis condensation ~~OSiO OSiO..
gel network Suitable starting materials are organic-inorganic binders and all the soluble titanium and silicon compounds known to the person skilled in the art which can be used as a precursor for the corresponding oxides or hydroxides, such as the corresponding alk-oxides, soluble salts and organotitanium or -silicon compounds.
Although all salts, such as e.g. halides, nitrates and hydroxides, can be used, the alk-oxides, e.g. ethoxide, propoxide etc., of these metals are preferred.
Organic-inorganic binders in the context of the invention are polyfunctional organo-silanes, e.g. polyfunctional silanols and/or alkoxides having at least 2 silicon atoms bridged via a C 1 to C 10-alkylene radical.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Preferred organic-inorganic binders which may be mentioned are:
a) Si[(CZH4)Si(OH)(CH3)z]a b) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OH)(CH3)z]}a C) cyclo-{OSl(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OCZHS)Z(CHj)]}4 d) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OCH3)(CH3)2]}a e) cyclo-{OSi(CH3)[(CzH4)Si(OCzHS)3]}a Syntheses of organic-inorganic binders and processes for carrying out sol-gel proc-esses with these are described, for example, in EP 0 743 313, EP 0 787 734 and WO
98/52992.
Suitable silicon precursors are, for example, silicon alkoxides, such as e.g.
Si(OCZHS)4, Si(OCH3)4, (H3C)Si(OCzHS)3 and (C6H5)Si(OCzHs)3. Instead of monomeric alkoxides, condensation products thereof can also be used.
Si(OCZHS)a condensates e.g. are commercially obtainable. Polymeric systems, such as e.g.
poly(diethoxysiloxane), can furthermore also be employed.
Suitable titanium precursor compounds as catalytic titanium species are known from the prior art, such as soluble titanium salts (e.g. titanium halides, nitrates and sul fates), titanium salts of inorganic or organic acids and titanic acid esters.
Titanium derivatives, such as tetraalkyl titanates with alkyl groups of C1-C6, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl etc., or other organic titanium species, such as titanyl acetylacetonate and dicyclopentadienyltitanium dichloride, are preferably used. Tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate, titanium acetylacetonate, titanocene dichloride and titanium tetrachloride are preferred titanium precursor compounds.
The titanium precursor compounds can also be employed in the presence of com-plexing components, such as e.g. acetylacetone or ethyl acetoacetate.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Suitable promoter precursor compounds are, for example, promoter salts, promoter complex compounds, organic promoter compounds or promoter alkoxides. Alkoxide compounds are preferably employed.
S Preferred solvents for the sol-gel process are alcohols, such as e.g.
methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol, ketones, such as e.g. acetone, and ethers, such as e.g. THF or tert-butyl methyl ether.
In principle, any procedure known to the person skilled in the art for sol-gel proc-esses is possible for synthesis of the T'i-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materi-als according to the invention. -Si-O-Ti- groups are generated, for example, by si-multaneous hydrolysis and/or condensation of Si precursors and Ti precursors, by reaction of the organic-inorganic binders with Ti precursors, optionally with subse-quent addition of the Si precursors, or by simultaneous reaction of organic-inorganic binders, Ti precursors and Si precursors.
In a preferred embodiment, the Si precursor is initially introduced into a solvent and partly hydrolysed with a deficit of water, based on the amount needed theoretically, and with the addition of a catalyst, the Ti compound is then added, further water is added, optionally with catalyst, and the organic-inorganic binder is then added.
After the gel formation, which can take place after a few minutes to some days, de-pending on the composition, the catalyst, the amount of water and the temperature, the gel is dried immediately or after an ageing period of up to 30 days. To bring the hydrolysis and condensation reactions to completion, one or more treatments of the moist and/or already dried gel with an excess of water or water vapour can optionally be carried out. Drying is preferably carried out between 50 and 250°C, particularly preferably between 100 and 180°C.
The materials can optionally be comminuted to powders (e.g. by grinding) before or after the drying or employed as shaped bodies.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries -II-The noble metals can be added in the form of precursors compounds, such as salts or organic complexes, or compounds during the sol-gel process, or applied in a known manner, e.g. by impregnation or precipitation, after preparation of the gel.
Surface modification of the composition optionally follows this step.
The surface modification can be carried out both before and after the coating with noble metal.
Modification in the context of the invention is understood as meaning, in particular, application of groups chosen from silicon-alkyl, silicon-aryl, fluorine-containing alkyl or fluorine-containing aryl groups to the surface of the supported composition, the groups being bonded to the functional groups (e.g. OH groups) on the surface by covalent or coordinate bonds. However, any other surface treatment is also expressly I S included in the scope of the invention.
The modification is preferably carried out with organosilicon and/or fluorine-con-taming organosilicon or organic compounds, organosilicon compounds being pre-ferred.
Possible organosilicon compounds are all the silylating agents known to the person skilled in the art, such as organic silanes, organic silylamines, organic silylamides and derivatives thereof, organic silazanes, organic siloxanes and other organosilicon compounds, which of course can also be employed in combination. Compounds of silicon and partly fluorinated or perfluorinated organic radicals are also expressly subsumed under organosilicon compounds.
Specific examples of organic silanes are chlorotrimethylsilane, dichlorodimethyl-silane, chlorobromodimethylsilane, nitrotrimethylsilane, chlorotrimethylsilane, iodo-dimethylbutylsilane, chlorodimethylphenylsilane, chlorodimethylsilane, dimethyl-n-propylchlorosilane, dimethylisopropylchlorosilane, t-butyldimethylchlorosilane, tri-Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries propylchlorosilane, dimethyloctylchlorosilane, tributylchlorosilane, trihexylchloro-silane, dimethylethylchlorosilane, dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane, n-butyldimethyl-chlorosilane, bromomethyldimethylchlorosilane, chloromethyldimethylchlorosilane, 3-chloropropyldimethylchlorosilane, dimethoxymethylchlorosilane, methylphenyl-chlorosilane, triethoxychlorosilane, dimethylphenylchlorosilane, methylphenylvinyl-chlorosilane, benzyldimethylchlorosilane, diphenylchlorosilane, diphenylmethyl-chlorosilane, diphenylvinylchlorosilane, tribenzylchlorosilane and 3-cyanopropyldi-methylchlorosilane.
Specific examples of organic silylamines are N-trimethylsilyldiethylamine and pentafluorophenyldimethylsilylamine, and include N-trimethylsilylimidazole, N-t-butyldimethylsilylimidazole, N-dimethylethylsilylimidazole, N-dimethyl-n-propyl-silylimidazole, N-dimethylisopropylsilylimidazole, N-trimethylsilyldimethylamine, N-trimethylsilylpyrrole, N-trimethylsilylpyrrolidine, N-trimethylsilylpiperidine and 1-cyanoethyl(diethylamino)dimethylsilane.
Specific examples of organic silylamides and their derivatives are N,O-bistrimethyl-silylacetamide, N,O-bistrimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide, N-trimethylsilylacetamide, N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide, N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide, N-methyl-N-trimethylsilylheptafluorobutyramide, N-{t-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-tri-fluoroacetamide and N,O-bis(diethylhydrosilyl)trifluoroacetamide.
Specific examples of organic silazanes are hexamethyldisilazane, heptamethyldis-ilazane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisilazane, 1,3-bis(chloromethyl)tetramethyldisilazane, 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisilazane and 1,3-diphenyltetramethyldisilazane.
Examples of other organosilicon compounds are N-methoxy-N,O-bistrimethylsilyl-trifluoroacetamide, N-methoxy-N,O-bistrimethylsilyl-carbamate, N,O-bistrimethyl-silylsulfamate, trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and N,N'-bistrimethylsi-lylurea.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Preferred silylating reagents are hexamethyldisilazane, hexamethyldisiloxane, N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) and trimethylchlorosi-lane.
S The supported compositions according to the invention comprising particles of gold and/or silver and Ti-containing, organic-inorganic hybrid materials can be described in the dried state, by approximation, by the following empirical formula (the radicals on the surface formed after modification and any incompletely reacted groups are not taken into account here):
HybxSiOzxTiO2xMOzxE (III) Hyb in the formula (III) denotes the constituents formed from the organic-inorganic binder in the sol-gel process, M is a promoter, preferably Ta, Fe, Sb, A1 or combina-tions thereof, x, y, z are the numbers needed effectively to satisfy the valencies of Si, Ti and M and E is the noble metal.
Based on silicon oxide, the content of Hyb in mole percent can be between 0.05 and 200%. It is preferably between 0.5 and 8.0%, and more preferably between 1.0 and 7.0%. Based on silicon oxide, the content of MoZ is between 0 and 12 mole%.
Based on the composition free of noble metals, the content of E is between 0.001 and wt.%. In the case of gold it is preferably between 0.001 and 2 wt.% and in the case of silver preferably between 0.01 and 15 wt.%.
Surprisingly, we have found that the supported compositions according to the inven-tion show a catalytic activity which is higher by several orders of magnitude and good catalysts lives compared with the catalyst systems known to date for the cata-lytic oxidation of alkenes and alkanes.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The object described is therefore further achieved by the use of the supported compo-sitions according to the invention for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, and the inven-tion also provides this use.
The catalysts which have become partly deactivated after a long time can be regener-ated again both thermally (up to 250°C) and by washing with suitable solvents, such as e.g. alcohols, or with dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions (e.g. 8% Hz02-methanol solution).
The composition according to the invention can in principle be applied to all hydro-carbons. The term hydrocarbon is understood as meaning unsaturated or saturated hydrocarbons, such as olefins or alkanes, which can also contain heteroatoms, such as N, O, P, S or halogens. The organic component to be oxidized can be acyclic monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, and can be monoolefinic, diolefmic or polyole-finic. In the case of organic components with two or more double bonds, the double bonds can be present in conjugated and non-conjugated form. Hydrocarbons which are preferably oxidized are those from which oxidation products are formed which have a partial pressure sufficiently low for constant removal of the product from the catalyst. Unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons having 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 10 carbon atoms, in particular ethene, ethane, propene, propane, isobutane, isobutylene, 1-butene, 2-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, pentene, pentane, 1-hexene, 1-hexane, hexadienes, cyclohexene and benzene, are preferred.
The organic-inorganic hybrid materials allow a type of "catalyst design", i.e.
a com-prehensive and at the same time controlled influencing of the material properties, such as e.g. the hydrophobicity (polarity) and/or the porosity. Surprisingly, this leads to significantly improved catalysts. The surface polarities have an effect directly on the activities and selectivities of the catalysts. The hydrophobicity of these materials is determined decisively by the number and nature of terminal and above all bridging Si-C bonds. Compared with other organic bonds, such as e.g. Si-O-C bonds, these Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries have the additional advantage that they are to a large degree chemically inert, i.e. are insensitive to hydrolysis and oxidation reactions.
In contrast to this, a common feature of all previously known catalysts is the applica-tion of gold particles to purely inorganic support materials. Although influencing of the surface polarity is conceivable with these by subsequent modification of the sur-face, e.g. by application of terminal silicon-alkyl groups, this is possible to only a very limited extent, inter alia depending on the number of reactive groups on the sur-face (e.g. Si-OH).
The supported compositions can be employed here for oxidation reactions in any desired physical form, e.g. ground powders, spherical particles, pellets, extrudates, granules etc.
A preferred use is the use for the gas phase oxidation of hydrocarbons, in particular olefins, in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen and the supported compositions ac cording to the invention. In this process epoxides are obtained selectively from ole fins, ketones are obtained selectively from saturated secondary hydrocarbons and alcohols are obtained selectively from saturated tertiary hydrocarbons. The catalyst lives are some days, months or longer, depending on the educt used.
The relative molar ratio of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and optionally a diluent gas can be varied within wide ranges.
The molar amount of hydrocarbon employed with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas can be varied within wide ranges. An excess of hydrocarbon, based on the oxygen employed (on a molar ba-sis), is preferably employed. The hydrocarbon content is typically greater than 1 mol% and less than 60 mol%. Hydrocarbon contents in the range of S-35 mol%, particularly preferably 10-30 mol%, are preferably employed. As the hydrocarbon Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries contents increase, productivity is increased and the combustion of hydrogen is re-duced.
The oxygen can be employed in the most diverse forms, e.g. molecular oxygen, air S and nitrogen oxide. Molecular oxygen is preferred. The molar oxygen content -with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas - can be varied within wide ranges. The oxygen is preferably employed in a mo-lar deficit with respect to the hydrocarbon. Oxygen is preferably employed in the range of 1-12 mol%, particularly preferably 6-12 mol%. As the oxygen contents increase, the productivity is increased. For safety reasons, an oxygen content of less than 20 mol% should be chosen.
In the absence of hydrogen, the supported compositions according to the invention show only a very low activity and selectivity. Up to 180°C, the productivity in the absence of hydrogen is low, and at temperatures greater than 200°C
large amounts of carbon dioxide are formed, in addition to partial oxidation products. Any known source of hydrogen can be used, such as e.g. molecular hydrogen from the dehydro-genation of hydrocarbons and alcohols. In another embodiment of the invention, the hydrogen can also be generated in situ in a preceding reactor, e.g. by dehydrogena-tion of propane or isobutane or alcohols, such as e.g. isobutanol. The hydrogen can also be introduced into the reaction system as a species bonded in a complex, e.g. a catalyst-hydrogen complex. The molar hydrogen content - with respect to the total number of moles of hydrocarbon, oxygen, hydrogen and diluent gas - can be varied within wide ranges. Typical hydrogen contents are greater than 0.1 mol%, preferably 5-80 mol%, particularly preferably 10-65 mol%. As the hydrogen contents increase, the productivity is increased.
A diluent gas, such as nitrogen, helium, argon, methane, carbon dioxide or similar gases which are inert, can optionally also be employed in addition to the essentially necessary educt gases described above. Mixtures of the inert components described can also be employed. The inert component additive is favourable for transportation Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries of the heat liberated from this exothermic oxidation reaction and from safety aspects.
If the process according to the invention is carried out in the gas phase, gaseous dilu-ent components, such as e.g. nitrogen, helium, argon, methane and possibly water vapour and carbon dioxide, are preferably used. Although water vapour and carbon dioxide are not completely inert, they have a positive effect at very low concentra-tions (< 2 vol.%).
If the invention is carried out in the liquid phase, an oxidation-stable and thermally stable inert liquid is expediently chosen (e.g. alcohols, polyalcohols, polyethers and halogenated hydrocarbons). The supported compositions according to the invention are also suitable for the oxidation of hydrocarbons in the liquid phase. Both in the presence of organic hydroperoxides (R-OOH), olef ns are converted into epoxides in the liquid phase highly selectively on the catalysts described, and in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen olefins are converted into epoxides in the liquid phase highly selectively on the catalysts described.
We have found that the selective oxidation reaction described above has a high sen-sitivity to the catalyst structure. When nanodisperse particles of gold and/or silver were present in the supported composition, an increase in the productivity to give the selective oxidation product was observed.
The spatially close interaction of gold and/or silver and titanium oxide (perimetric interface) on the organic-inorganic support operates particularly efficiently, i.e. ex-cellent epoxidation catalysts in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen are obtained.
The activity of the catalysts and the catalyst life can optionally be increased further by incorporation of small amounts of promoters, e.g. foreign metals, above all by incorporation of tantalum and/or iron and/or antimony and/or aluminium. The com-positions according to the invention can be prepared on an industrial scale without process technology problems and inexpensively.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries The characteristic properties of the present invention are illustrated in the following examples with the aid of catalyst preparations and a catalytic test reaction.
It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the following examples.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries Examples Instructions for testing the catalysts (test instructions) A metal tube reactor of 10 mm internal diameter and 20 cm length which was tem-perature-controlled by means of an oil thermostat was employed. The reactor was supplied with educt gases with a set of four mass flow regulators (hydrocarbon, oxy-gen, hydrogen, nitrogen). For the reaction, 0.5 g pulverulent catalyst was initially introduced at 150°C under an increased pressure of 1 bar. The educt gases were me-tered into the reactor from the top. The standard catalyst loading was 4 1/g cat./h.
Propene was chosen by way of example as the "standard hydrocarbon". For carrying out the oxidation reactions, a gas stream enriched with nitrogen, always called the standard gas composition below, was chosen: NZ/Hz/OZ/C3H6 : 15/65/10/10%. The reaction gases were analysed quantitatively by gas chromatography. The individual reaction products were separated by gas chromatography by a combined FID/TCD
method in which the products flow through three capillary columns:
FID: HP-Innowax, 0.32 mm internal diameter, 60 m long, 0.25 p coating thickness.
TDC: HP-Plot Q, 0.32 mm internal diameter, 30 m long, 20 p coating thickness HP-Plot Molsieve 5 A, 0.32 mm internal diameter, 30 m long, 12 ~ coating thickness connected in series.

The supernatant solution was then decanted off and the residue was washed twice with 300 ml n-hexane each time, freed from volatile constituents in vacuo and dried at 150°C for 4 hours.

In a test according to the test instructions (140°C), propene conversions of 2.5% were achieved over SO h at constant PO selectivities of 95%. In a test according to the test instructions at 150°C, propene conversions of 3.4% were achieved over 50 h at con-stant PO selectivities of 95%.
Example 3:
This example describes the preparation of a catalyst comprising a titanium-contain-ing, organic-inorganic hybrid material which was modified on the surface and subse-quently coated with gold particles. The preparation was carried out analogously to example 2, but the binder content is 20% and the titanium dioxide content is 3%.
Le A 33 724-Foreign Countries 4.8 g of a 0.1 N solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid in water are added to 55.6 g tetra-ethoxysilane (266.9 mmol) and 16.9 g ethanol (analytical grade) and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour. 2.65 g tetrabutoxytitanium (7.78 mmol) are then slowly added, the mixture is stirred for a further 30 minutes, a solution of 4.16 g cyclo-S {OSi(CH3)[(CZH4)Si(OH)(CH3)2)}4 (6.4 mmol) in 10.0 g ethanol (analytical grade) is added, the mixture is stirred again for 30 minutes, a mixture of 5.1 g of a 0.1 N solu-tion of p-toluenesulfonic acid in water and 5.1 g ethanol (analytical grade) is added, while stirring, and the mixture is finally left to stand. After approx. 24 h the mixture reaches the gel point. After an ageing time of approx. 18 days water is added to the gel until no further formation of gas bubbles and streaks is detectable. The water is exchanged several times here. The product is then heated at 60°C in water for a fur-ther hour, the supernatant solution is decanted off and the residue is dried at 150°C
for 8 hours. A yield of 21.9 g is obtained.
