Abstract (en)

[origin: US6392065B1] The invention relates to a method of producing epoxy resins from hydrocarbons with olefinic double bonds, especially alkenes, by heterogeneous catalyzed oxidation in the gaseous phase. According to said method, and oxidic solid catalyst is released which contains iron as its active component at a concentration of 0.001-1% and alkali and/or alkaline earth elements as the promoters. N2O is used as the oxidizing agent. The granulated oxidic solid catalyst, especially on the basis of SiO2 as the carrier, has a specific surface of greater that 50 m2/g. The ratio of the concentrations of the active components to the promoter components is preferably between 1:100 and 10:1. The partial oxidation of hydrocarbons with olefinic double bonds, especially propene, results in propene selectivities of 10-70% at reaction temperatures of 300-500° C. and conversions of 2-30%. The catalyst repeatedly used in the reaction process can easily be regenerated by oxidation in air so that it retains its high activity even after 50 or more regeneration cycles.
