Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an improved epoxidation process and an improved epoxidation reactor. The present invention makes use of a reactor which comprises a plurality of microchannels. Such process microchannels may be adapted such that the epoxidation and optionally other processes can take place in the microchannels and that they are in a heat exchange relation with channels adapted to contain a heat exchange fluid. A reactor comprising such process microchannels is referred to as a ''microchannel reactor''. The invention provides a certain process for the epoxidation of an olefin and a process for the preparation of a chemical derivable from an olefin oxide.
