The present invention provides one or more embodiments of a process for the epoxidation of an olefin. For the embodiments, the process includes reacting the olefin, with the proviso that the olefin is not propylene, with a hydrogen peroxide solution at a predetermined pH in the presence of a catalyst and a solvent at a predetermined reaction temperature. The pH of the hydrogen peroxide solution is adjusted to the predetermined pH by contacting the hydrogen peroxide solution with a supported base to remove acidic species from the hydrogen peroxide solution. |
