A continuous process for the preparation of propylene oxide, comprising a start-up stage and normal run stage, wherein the normal run stage comprises (i) continuously providing a liquid feed stream comprising propene, hydrogen peroxide, acetonitrile, a formate salt, water and optionally propane, wherein in the liquid feed stream, the molar amount of the formate salt relative to the molar amount of hydrogen peroxide at a given point of time during the normal run stage is aN(Fo/H2O2); (ii) continuously passing the liquid feed stream provided in (i) into an epoxidation zone comprising a catalyst comprising a titanium zeolite having framework type MWW, and subjecting the liquid feed stream to epoxidation reaction conditions in the epoxidation zone, obtaining a reaction mixture comprising propylene oxide, acetonitrile, water, the formate salt, optionally propene, and optionally propane; (iii) continuously removing an effluent stream from the epoxidation zone, the effluent stream comprising propylene oxide, acetonitrile, water, at least a portion of the formate salt, optionally propene, and optionally propane; wherein the normal run stage is characterized in an average rate of change of aN(Fo/H2O2) of less than 0 h−1.
一种制备环氧丙烷的连续工艺,包括启动阶段和正常运行阶段,其中正常运行阶段包括(i)连续提供由丙烯、过氧化氢、乙腈、甲酸盐、水和可选丙烷组成的液体进料流,其中在液体进料流中,在正常运行阶段的给定时间点甲酸盐相对于过氧化氢的摩尔量为aN(Fo/H2O2);(ii) 将(i)中提供的液体进料流连续通入环氧化区,环氧化区包括由框架类型为 MWW 的钛沸石组成的催化剂,并在环氧化区将液体进料流置于环氧化反 应条件下,得到由环氧丙烷、乙腈、水、甲酸盐、可选的丙烯和可选的丙烷组成 的反应混合物;(iii) 从环氧化区连续移除废液流,废液流包括环氧丙烷、乙腈、水、至少一部分甲酸盐、可选的丙烯和可选的丙烷;其中正常运行阶段的特征是 aN(Fo/H2O2)的平均变化率小于 0 h-1。
