The invention relates to a preparation method of an
oxygen-vacancy-rich double-phase
tungsten oxide WO3H2O / WO2.72 and application of the
oxygen-vacancy-rich double-phase
tungsten oxide WO3H2O / WO2.72 in olefin epoxidation reaction. The preparation method of the
oxygen-vacancy-rich double-phase
tungsten oxide WO3H2O / WO2.72 comprises the following steps that WCl6 and absolute ethyl
alcohol are placed in a container according to the
molar ratio of 0.003-0.005: 1, stirred to be dissolved and then transferred into a self-pressure reaction kettle; the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding WO3H2O and WO2.72 into a reaction kettle, reacting for 7-11 hours at 120-160 DEG C under dynamic stirring at 40-100 r / min, cooling, centrifuging or carrying out suction
filtration, washing the obtained product with pure water and absolute ethyl
alcohol for 3-4 times in sequence, and
drying for 3-10 hours at 40-80 DEG C to obtain the dark blue double-phase
tungsten oxide WO3H2O / WO2.72 with a flower-like nano hierarchical structure, WO3H2O and WO2.72 coexist in two phases, the content of W < 5 + > reaches 9-15%, the content of
oxygen vacancy reaches 15-25%, and the specific surface area is 35-90 m < 2 > / g. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple, the process is easy to control, the
repeatability is good, the prepared double-phase
tungsten oxide WO3H2O / WO2.72 has a good
catalytic effect in olefin epoxidation reaction, the
cyclooctene conversion rate of the reaction at 60 DEG C for 6 hours is greater than 96%, and the selectivity of
epoxy cyclooctane is greater than 99%.
