The production of propylene oxide over nanometer Au catalysts in the presence of H2 and O2

Abstract

Direct gaseous-phase epoxidation of propylene over nanogold catalysts in co-presence of H2 and O2 has been extensively studied. Many researchers have made important progress in this field, and a survey of the literature published to date is presented in this article. The salient features are the nature of the nanogold particles and the Ti-based support materials.
