The invention relates to a method for preparing epoxyethane from
oxygen and
ethylene. The method is mainly used for solving the problem in the prior art that the safety is relatively poor. According to the method, through adopting the technical scheme that the method for preparing the epoxyethane from the
oxygen and the
ethylene comprises the steps that reactant
ethylene gas is heated by a gas-gas
heat exchanger and then enters at least one
oxygen-transmission membrane tube in a reactor, the oxygen-transmission membrane tubes are made from mixed-conductor inorganic
ceramic membranes and are of calandria arrangement, air enters an area, outside the oxygen-transmission membrane tubes, in the reactor, the oxygen is subjected to adsorption and
desorption on surfaces of oxygen-transmission membranes and then enters the oxygen-transmission membrane tubes to be in contact with the ethylene, a reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst to produce a product containing the epoxyethane, the product flows out from outlets of the oxygen-transmission membrane tubes, passes through the gas-gas
heat exchanger and then enters a downstream separating
system, and remaining
nitrogen-enriched air is discharged from the reactor, the problem is better solved, so that the method can be applied to the preparation of the epoxyethane.
