Abstract
The production of epichlorohydrin with hydrogen peroxide is an environmentally benign process, but the relatively high cost of hydrogen peroxide prevents it from being commercialized. In the present work, the production of epichlorohydrin by epoxidation of allyl chloride with molecular oxygen in the presence of 2-ethyl anthrahydroquinone using TS-1 as the catalyst was studied. The catalysts after reaction were characterized with FT-IR and TGA. The reaction results showed that the heterogeneous reaction could be carried out under mild conditions, and the addition of methanol solvent could increase the yield of the product. It was found that the concentration of 2-ethylanthrahydroquinone in the working solution should not be too high, otherwise, it would decrease the yield of the product. The product and unreacted reactants could be separated simply by distillation.
