Procedure
A non-silylated titania-on-silica catalyst was prepared in accordance with the procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,923,843 and used to catalyze the epoxidation of propylene with ethyl benzene hydroperoxide in a fixed bed reactor for 526 hours. After removal from the reactor, the used catalyst gave only 23% conversion and 90% selectivity to epoxide in a batch epoxidation of 1-octene with ethylbenzene hydroperoxide (1 hour, 90° C.). Drying in a 120° C. vacuum oven had little effect on the activity of the catalyst (27% conversion, 100% epoxide selectivity).
