摘要 |
The invention is directed to a catalyst useful in the epoxidation of an olefin to an olefin oxide, the catalyst comprising a support having a multimodal pore size distribution comprising a first and a second distribution of pore sizes wherein each distribution of pore sizes possesses a different mean pore size and a different pore size of maximum concentration, the support having a catalytically effective amount of silver, a promoting amount of rhenium, and cesium in an amount up to, but not exceeding 700 ppm disposed thereon. The invention is also directed to methods for using the catalyst for the commercial production of an olefin oxide from olefin and oxygen-containing feed gases. |
