Abstract
A process for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide in a continuous flow reaction system, wherein the reaction mixture includes at least one liquid phase which is passed through a fixed catalyst bed positioned between parallel heat exchange plates and the reaction heat is at least partially removed during the course of the reaction by passing a cooling medium through the heat exchange plates.

A process for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide in a continuous flow reaction system, comprising passing a reaction mixture comprising at least one liquid phase through a fixed catalyst bed positioned between parallel heat exchange plates and heat of reaction is at least partially removed during the course of reaction by passing a cooling medium through the heat exchange plates.
A process for the catalytic epoxidation reaction of propene with hydrogen peroxide in a continuous flow reaction system comprising passing a reaction mixture comprising hydrogen peroxide, methanol and propene through a fixed catalyst bed positioned between parallel heat exchange plates in down-flow operation mode and at least partially removing heat of said reaction during the course of said reaction by passing a cooling medium through the heat exchange plates.
