The present invention relates to a process for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins in which in one reaction stage the olefin is reacted with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in an organic, water-miscible solvent in the presence of a titanium silicalite catalyst, wherein an exit gas stream is obtained which contains olefin oxide, unreacted olefin and oxygen and this exit gas stream is brought into contact in an absorption unit with the same solvent as used in the reaction stage and a solvent stream loaded with olefin and olefin oxide is drawn off from the absorption unit and an exit gas stream containing oxygen is discharged. |
