Abstract:
This invention relates to a process, comprising reacting ethylene and oxygen or a source of oxygen in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor to form a product comprising ethylene oxide, wherein the catalyst contains silver or silver compound and a support and the catalyst is in the form of particulate solids having a mean particle diameter from 1 to 1000 μm and wherein the molar ratio of oxygen to ethylene is from 1:4 to 10:1.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a supported silver catalyst, having the following steps: (a) reacting oxalic acid with an alkali metal base in a solvent, preferably water, up to the second equivalence point of the oxalic acid, thereby obtaining alkali metal oxalate; (b) reacting the alkali metal oxalate obtained according to (a) with a silver salt in a solvent, preferably water, thereby obtaining silver oxalate; (c) complexing the silver oxalate obtained according to (b) with a diamine compound in a solvent, preferably water, thereby obtaining a diamine-silver oxalate complex.
Abstract:
Supported catalysts comprising noble metals, which can be obtained by a) applying colloidal noble metal in the form of a colloidal solution onto a carrier material, optionally mixed with additives acting as promoters, b1) drying the obtained product at 150 to 350°C, or b2) drying the obtained product at 150 to 350°C and subsequently calcining it at 350 to 550°C, for epoxidation or oxidative dehydrogenation. The invention further relates to a method for the production thereof, to the use thereof, and to the use of colloidal noble metals for producing supported catalysts.
