Gas phase epoxidation of propylene was performed by directly contacting propylene and gaseous H2O2 on the surface of TS-1 catalyst in an integrated reactor. The gaseous H2O2 was produced in situ by a H2/O2 plasma. The H2O2 formation rate can be enhanced by increasing the power density of the H2/O2 plasma reactor. The yield and selectivity for propylene oxide (PO) can be increased by optimizing the reaction conditions and using suitable TS-1 catalysts. With a power injection of 3.5 W, flow rates of H2, O2, and propylene of 170, 8, and 18 ml/min, respectively, catalyst loading of 0.8 g, and epoxidation temperature of 110 °C, the yield and selectivity for PO and the utilization rate of H2O2 were 246.9 g/(kg·h), 95.4 % , and 36.1 % , respectively. During the gas phase reaction, no decline of TS-1 activity was observed.
