Abstract

The oxidation of propylene with air on silver catalysts of macropore structure has been studied both in a flow and an open recirculation reactor. Under strictly isothermal conditions, avoiding the local overheating of the catalyst, propylene oxide was produced with a selectivity as high as about 50%.

Abstract

Окисление пропилена воздухом на серебряных катализаторах с микропористой структурой было исследовано как в проточном, так и в рециркуляционном открытом реакторе. При строго изотермических условиях, предотвращая местный перегрев катализатора, окись пропилена была получена с высокой селективностью, равной приблизительно 50%-ам.
