Abstract: Epoxidation of ethylene with the reactive products formed during thermal gas-phase oxidation of n-butane has been carried out under flow conditions with the separation of the zones of generation of radicals and their interaction with ethylene. Butane is oxidized in the first section of a two-section reactor, and ethylene is fed to the second section. It has been found that increasing the residence time of a butane–oxygen mixture in the first section of the reactor from 7 to 13 s increases the ethylene oxide accumulation rate. A further increase in the contact time leads to a decrease in the rate. Similarly, increasing the C4H10/O2 ratio in the range of 0.05–0.25 leads to an increase in the rate of accumulation of ethylene oxide. A further increase in this ratio decreases the rate of epoxidation. It has also been found that the temperature dependences of the ethylene oxide accumulation rate in both sections of the reactor pass through a maximum. The obtained data give evidence for the occurrence of the ethylene epoxidation reaction initiated by the n-butane oxidation products under the conditions when ethylene itself is slightly oxidized.

The binary compound CaAg2 is examined as a catalyst for the ethylene epoxidation reaction. During the induction phase, conversion and selectivity increase and then remain stable for several hundred hours. The presence of ethyl chloride as a promoter is crucial. The pristine CaAg2 reacts with the gaseous reactants and forms a porous microstructure of calcium-containing oxidation products on the surface, in which particles of elemental silver are embedded. The microstructure is remarkably stable, and in particular, prevents further sintering of the silver particles.

The overall chloriding effectiveness factor (Z*), defined as the ratio of ethyl chloride concentration in parts per million to the sum of ethylene and ethane concentration in mole percent multiplied by a weighting factor to account for their efficacy in removing chlorine-adatoms from the surface, was used as a parameter to account for the effects of chlorine on the kinetics of ethylene epoxidation on a highly promoted 35 wt % Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst. An increase in O2 order (≈0.7 to 1) and a decrease in C2H4 order (≈0.5 to 2 activation on chloride-promoted silver catalysts. Carbon dioxide co-feed (1–5 mol %) was found to promote ethylene oxide selectivity as CO2 co-feed reversibly inhibits CO2 synthesis rates (?0.6 order) more than ethylene oxide synthesis rates (?0.49 order) at all Z* values. Ethylene oxide and CO2 rates were found to be invariant with ethylene oxide (0–0.5 mol %) and acetaldehyde (0–1.7 ppm) co-feeds, suggesting that there is minimal product inhibition under reaction conditions. A model involving a common reaction intermediate for ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide synthesis and two types of atomically adsorbed oxygen species—nucleophilic and electrophilic oxygen—is proposed to plausibly describe the observed reaction rate dependencies and selectivity trends as a function of the chloriding effectiveness.

Catalytic materials tend to be metastable. When a material becomes metastable close to a thermodynamic phase transition it can exhibit unique catalytic behavior. Using in situ photoemission spectroscopy and online product analysis, we have found that close to the Cu2O-CuO phase transition there is a boost in activity for a kinetically driven reaction, ethylene epoxidation, giving rise to a 20-fold selectivity enhancement relative to the selectivity observed far from the phase transition. By tuning conditions toward low oxygen chemical potential, this metastable state and the resulting enhanced selectivity can be sustained. Using density functional theory, we find that metastable O precursors to the CuO phase can account for the selectivity enhancements near the phase transition.
