Partial oxidation of ethylene over silver catalyst supported on mesoporous materials
The partial oxidation of ethylene was investigated over silver catalysts supported on mesoporous materials. KIT-1 mesoporous materials with 30-50 wt.% silver exhibited a high conversion of ethylene and a relatively high selectivity for ethylene oxide. The selectivity of Ag/KIT-1 is enhanced by the modification of the silane.
