摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for the production of propylene oxide, whereby (i) propylene is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of methanol to form propylene oxide, resulting in a mixture (Gi), comprising propylene oxide, methanol, water and unreacted hydrogen peroxide, (ii) from mixture (Gi) a mixture (Gii), comprising methanol, water and hydrogen peroxide is separated off, yielding a mixture (Ga), comprising propylene oxide. Water is separated off from mixture (Gii) to give a mixture (Giii), comprising methanol and methyl formate.
