HYDRO-OXIDATION OF HYDROCARBONS USING CATALYST PREPARED BY MICROWAVE HEATING

摘要

A process and hydro-oxidation catalyst for the hydro-oxidation of a hydrocarbon, preferably a C3-8 olefin, such as propylene, by oxigen in the presence of hydrogen to the corresponding partially-oxidized hydrocarbon, preferably, a C3-8 olefin oxide, preferably, propylene oxide. The catalyst comprises gold, silver, one or more platinum group metals, one or more lanthanide rare earth metals, or a mixture thereof, deposited on a titanosilicate, preferably TS-1 characterized in that titanosilicate is prepared by microwave heating.
