Abstract:
There is provided a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide from ethylene which is composed of at least silver (Ag), cesium (Cs), rhenium (Re) and a carrier, and can be improved, in particular, in selectivity.The present invention relates to a catalyst for producing ethylene oxide from ethylene, comprising at least silver (Ag), cesium (Cs), rhenium (Re) and a carrier, said catalyst being produced by optionally pretreating the carrier to support an alkali metal thereon and then supporting Ag, Cs and Re on the carrier, wherein the carrier has a specific surface area of 0.6 to 3.0 m2/g and a weight ratio of a silicon (Si) content to a sodium (Na) content of 2 to 50 in terms of SiO2/Na2O; a content of Re in the catalyst is 170 to 600 ppm per 1 m2/g of the specific surface area of the carrier on the basis of a weight of the carrier; and a molar ratio of Cs to Re in the catalyst is 0.3 to 19.
