Abstract
Kinetics of propylene epoxidation using an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of titanium-containing zeolite was studied. An effect of concentration reagent and reaction product concentration and the temperature on the reaction rate was considered. Basing on the experimental data obtained, a mathematical model of the process was proposed to calculate the reaction rate constants, adsorption equilibrium and activation energy.
