Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a process for the production of ethylene oxide, comprising the steps of producing ethylene resulting in a stream comprising ethylene and ethane; producing ethylene oxide by subjecting ethylene and ethane from the stream comprising ethylene and ethane to oxidation conditions resulting in a stream comprising ethylene oxide, unconverted ethylene and ethane; and recovering ethylene oxide from the stream comprising ethylene oxide, unconverted ethylene and ethane.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A process for producing ethylene oxide, comprising the steps of: producing ethylene by subjecting a stream comprising ethane to oxydehydrogenation conditions resulting in a stream comprising ethylene and unconverted ethane; producing ethylene oxide by subjecting ethylene and unconverted ethane from the stream comprising ethylene and unconverted ethane to oxidation conditions resulting in a stream comprising ethylene oxide, unconverted ethylene and unconver…
