Propane to propene oxide (PO) oxidation over V-containing mesoporous silica of SBA-3 structure has been studied using different oxidants (nitrous oxide, oxygen, and their mixture) in the temperature range 673–773 K. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction with hydrogen (H2 TPR), and low-temperature N2 adsorption/desorption, were applied for characterization of fresh and spent catalysts. XPS spectra and H2 TPR profiles revealed a significant reduction of V-species as a result of propane oxidation with N2O alone, which leads to a decrease in both propane conversion and the space–time yield (STY) of PO. The use of an N2O–oxygen mixture as an oxidant of propane allows the vanadium valence to be stabilized at a level similar to the initial sample, which results in stable activity with time on stream. Propane conversion of 40%, propylene selectivity of 45%, and propylene oxide selectivity of 11%, corresponding to a STY of propylene oxide of about 15 g kgcat-1h?1, have been obtained, which makes these results very promising compared with the data reported in the literature. Vanadium catalyst used with only oxygen results in stable propane conversion with high total oxidation and stable propene selectivity, although the STY of PO is 10 times lower. N2O applied as the only oxidant results in rapid catalyst deactivation, and after 2 h on stream, STY of PO is only 2.5 g kgcat-1h?1.

Paragraph 0092-0102, (2020/05/29)
A method for producing propylene oxide involves an oxidation step, a distillation step, an epoxidation step, and a separation step. The distillation step involves distilling the reaction mixture containing cumene hydroperoxide to separate it into a concentrate containing cumene hydroperoxide and a distillate. The reaction mixture is continuously distilled so that the ratio of the flow rate of the distillate to the flow rate of the reaction mixture to be distilled is 0.037 to 0.13. The epoxidation step involves obtaining a reaction mixture containing propylene oxide and cumyl alcohol by contacting the concentrate with propylene in the presence of a catalyst in one or more reactors to cause a reaction between propylene and cumene hydroperoxide in the concentrate, in which the outlet temperature of the final reactor is adjusted to 115° C. or more and less than 140° C.

Paragraph 0200, (2020/05/28)
Disclosed are gas-phase ODH and OCP processes for converting alkanes (e.g., C2H6 and C3H8) to alkenes (e.g., C2H4 and C3H6) or oxygenates (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or propylene oxide) or converting alkenes (e.g., ethylene and propene) and oxygenates (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or propylene oxide) to longer carbon-chain alkenes or longer carbon-chain alkanes with or without solid catalysts.
