Abstract:The influences of titanium precursor, base type and temperature on morphology of the titanate nanofiber(TiNF) synthesized by hydrothermal method were studied. It is found that the precursor of amorphous titania gel and base of KOH are both leading to the generation of nonporous TNFs and an evenly distributed and elongated TNFs were synthesized at 90℃ with the length to diameter ratio of 1000 and specific area of 311m2/g. Taking thus made TiNFs as the support, a solid base catalyst was prepared by impregnation of the alkaline halide which has demonstrated excellent basic activity in synthesis of propylene glycol monomethyl ether at lower temperature and shorter time by methanol addition reaction of epoxy propane. Temperature programmed desorption of CO2 test has found the amount of the basic sites on catalyst surface doubled after impregnation of alkaline halide on the blank TiNF support and also appeared the new basic sites of medium and strong strength.
