Abstract
A continuous process is described for the preparation of olefin oxides by direct epoxidation of an olefin with hydrogen peroxide, or compounds capable of producing hydrogen peroxide under the reaction conditions, in a solvent medium, in the presence of a catalytic system consisting of a zeolite containing titanium and a buffer system with a pH controlled within the values of 5.5 to 8.0, consisting of a nitrogenated base and a salt thereof with an organic or inorganic acid. The process allows high conversions and selectivities of the olefin into the corresponding oxide with a catalytic activity stable over a period of time.
