[0025] Preparation of Catalyst A: Add 28 parts of ethylenediamine, 10 parts of ethanolamine and 46 parts of deionized water into a stirred glass flask. While stirring, slowly add 62 parts of silver oxalate with a silver content of 62.6wt% into the mixed solution, keep the solution temperature at 0-15°C, and form a silver amine solution after all the silver oxalate is dissolved, then add 0.10 parts of cesium hydroxide, 0.02 Potassium hydroxide, 0.01 part of ammonium sulfate. Take 10g of the carrier and put it in a vacuumable container, evacuate it to below 10mmHg, immerse the carrier in the silver amine solution configured above for 30 minutes, leach off the excess solution, and then heat it in the air flow at 300°C for 5 minutes. Catalyst A was prepared after cooling.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing ethylene oxide. The method comprises the following steps that charging gas mixture is reacted under existence of a silver catalyst to generate a reaction product containing ethylene oxide; wherein, the charging gas mixture contains ethane, oxygen and a mixing nitrogen oxide, the mixing nitrogen oxide contains two or more components from nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and nitrous oxide; and the content of rhenium element in the silver catalyst is equal to or smaller than 100 ppm. The invention provides the novel industrial method for producing ethylene oxide by using the silver catalyst containing rhenium with low rhenium content or containing no rhenium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a method for preparing ethylene oxide. Background technique [0002] The preparation of ethylene oxide by the gas-phase catalytic oxidation of ethylene with a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a silver catalyst is widely practiced on a commercial scale. Usually the concentration of ethylene in the feed can be selected within a wide range. In general, the ethylene concentration is at most 80 mol%, relative to the total feedstock, generally ranging between 0.5-70 mol%, especially between 1-60 mol%. In theory, the concentration of oxygen in the raw material can be selected within a wide range; but in practice, the concentration of oxygen used should be lower than the explosion limit concentration; generally speaking, the concentration of oxygen used is 1-15mol% of the total raw material, More preferably in the range of 2-12 mol%. In order to keep the concentration beyond the explosive limit, the concentration of ...
