Abstract
The liquid-phase epoxidation of allyl chloride in methanol with aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide was conducted in the presence of extruded titanium containing silicalite and the physico-chemical features of the process were investigated. The effect of the amount of solvent, the initial ratio of the allyl chloride to hydrogen peroxide and the temperature of the process on the yield of the target product (epichlorohydrin) and by-products (3-chloro-1,2-propanediol and 3-chloro-1-methoxypropanol-2) was studied. Based on the obtained results, the optimum conditions of synthesis of epichlorohydrin for a laboratory scale continuous setup were recommended.
