A process is provided for the epoxidation of an olefin comprising the
steps of: contacting a feed comprising an olefin and oxygen with a
catalyst comprising a silver component deposited on a
fluoride-mineralized carrier; and producing a product mix comprising an
olefin oxide, wherein the partial pressure of olefin oxide in the product
mix is greater than about 60 kPa. A process is provided for the
epoxidation of an olefin comprising the steps of: contacting a feed
comprising an olefin and oxygen with a catalyst comprising a silver
component and a high-selectivity dopant deposited on a
fluoride-mineralized carrier; and producing a product mix comprising an
olefin oxide, wherein the partial pressure of olefin oxide in the product
mix is greater than about 20 kPa.
