Two preparation methods of Ti catalysts with mesoporous structure were tested, namely grafting of titanium on prepared MCM-41 (Ti/MCM-41/gr) and incorporation of titanium into the structure of MCM-41 by co-gelification method (Ti-MCM-41/cg). The tested catalysts exhibited high surface area, well-defined regular structure and narrow pore size distribution of mesopores and therefore represent potential good quality catalytic systems. The successful preparation of catalysts was confirmed by wide range of characterization methods (XRF, XRD, physical adsorption of N2, SEM, UV–Vis and FTIR). The catalytic activity of the prepared Ti catalysts was evaluated in indene epoxidation. The optimization of reaction conditions was performed using two types of oxidizing agents—aqueous solution of tert-butyl hydroperoxide and solution of tert-butyl hydroperoxide in decane. The prepared catalytic systems were successfully used for preparation of 1,2-epoxyindane with high yield (83 %) and the possibility of catalyst regeneration was proved.

A range of mesoporous materials with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios, namely aluminosilicates type Siral and MCM-41 silica and fumed silica, were used as supports for immobilization of MTO. The tested support materials and prepared catalytic systems exhibited high surface area, well-defined regular structure and narrow pore size distribution of mesopores and therefore represent good quality catalysts for various reactions. The immobilized MTO on various supports was tested for the preparation of 1,2-epoxyindane using two forms of hydrogen peroxide as oxidation agents, namely aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and its anhydrous form, urea-hydrogen peroxide. The prepared catalysts were successfully used for the preparation of 1,2-epoxyindane with achieved 100 % selectivities to the desired product at high conversions of indene.
