Abstract:
1. A process for producing an epoxide comprising reacting an olefin, hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst comprising palladium nanoparticles, support nanoparticles having an average crystallite size of less than 200 nm, and a titanium zeolite having a particle size of 2 microns or greater, wherein the palladium nanoparticles are deposited on the support nanoparticles to form supported palladium nanoparticles, and: (a) the supported palladium nanoparticles are deposited on the titanium zeolite; or (b) the supported palladium nanoparticles are deposited on a carrier having a particle size of 2 microns or greater.
