A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN OLEFIN OXIDE, A 1,2-DIOL, A 1,2-DIOL ETHER, OR AN ALKANOLAMINE

摘要

A process is provided for the epoxidation of an olefin comprising the steps of: contacting a feed comprising an olefin and oxygen with a catalyst comprising a silver component and a high-selectivity dopant deposited on a fluoride-mineralized carrier; and producing a product mix comprising an olefin oxide, wherein the concentration of carbon dioxide in the feed is less than about 2 mole-%, relative to the total feed.
