A catalyst comprising a transition metal zeolite and a supported noble
metal is disclosed. The mean mass diameter of the catalyst is greater
than 0.5 mm. The catalyst is formed from transition metal zeolite
particles and the supported noble metal particles each having a mean mass
diameter of less than 0.1 mm. An epoxidation process by reacting an
olefin, hydrogen, and oxygen in the presence of the catalyst is
disclosed.
