Convert ethylene to molecular oxygen! Virtually the only catalyst used to industrially produce ethylene oxide by oxidation is a silver catalyst. However, silver alone is not necessarily perfect as an industrial catalyst, and efforts are being made to improve its performance by adding various additives. Among them, there are many examples of adding alkali metals to improve performance (
For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-48554, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 52
-108391, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1191/1983), there are few cases in which the counterions have a special effect, and in some cases halogens such as bromine are excluded as poisonous substances of silver. many.

However, a concept that recognizes special effects for anion components has recently appeared, for example, in JP-A-57-140654 and JP-A-57-18.
Publication No. 0434 states that anions such as chlorine and bromine, which were conventionally considered to be poisonous substances, can also be treated by combining them with appropriate cations, that is, by selecting a combination of a specific cation and anion. On the contrary, it has been stated that the performance of the catalyst is greatly improved.

The cesium compound is preferably a halide, but it can also be added in the form of salts such as nitrates, nitrites, carbonates, and sulfates, and hydroxides. As the barium compound, a nitrate is preferred, but it can also be used in the form of a carbonate, hydroxide, carboxylate, or logenide, provided that no insoluble compounds are formed during addition. The halogen source may be added in the form of a salt with the above-mentioned sodium, cesium, or barium, or in the form of another salt such as lithium, potassium, rubidium, or ammonium. In any case, it is necessary to add sodium, cesium, barium, and halogen in addition to the silver wire, and when these are combined, the performance of the catalyst is greatly improved.

That is, the special feature of the present invention is that halogen, which is toxic when added in large amounts, has been found to act as a performance-improving agent by adding a small amount of halogen in combination with cationic components such as sodium, cesium, and barium.

The initial reaction temperature was 219°C, and the ethylene oxide selectivity was 81.8 degrees.Although the temperature rose several degrees over 5 months, the selectivity was hardly assimilated. A portion of this catalyst was extracted and the amount of sulfur accumulated was measured, and it was found to be asppm, and from the results of water solubility tests, etc., it is inferred that this sulfur forms BaSO4. One of the reasons why this catalyst maintains a high selectivity is thought to be that poisoning of silver by sulfur is prevented by the addition of barium.

However, the temperature of superheated steam for heating the catalyst was 220°C. The results of the reaction are shown in Table 2. T40°840 in the table
are the bath temperature and selectivity (h) when the oxygen conversion rate is 40%.

Comparative Examples 6-7 High-IJium-rich catalysts were prepared. If the amount of barium is large, precipitation will occur in the silver-amine solution, making simultaneous impregnation impossible. Comparative Example 6 differs from Example 1 in that barium nitrate was immersed in the NazCOa pre-impregnated and dried carrier not simultaneously with the silver-amine solution, but before that, and dried with superheated steam at 150°C.

In Comparative Example 7, after impregnating and drying an α-alumina support with sodium acetate and barium nitrate, a silver-amine solution and CsC
1 was impregnated at the same time. Both catalysts were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the above. .

反応結果と共に第3表に示す。The reaction results are shown in Table 3.

活性が非常に低いことがわかる。It can be seen that the activity is very low.
