Method for producing ethylene oxide

摘要

A packing material for a reactor for producing ethylene oxide by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene in the presence of molecular oxygen, wherein the packing material is used at the inlet side of a catalyst layer of the reactor, is silica-alumina containing 10 to 8 wt. % of silica, and is produced by sintering the silica-alumina at 1200 DEG to 1500 DEG C.
