Returning an olefin which is not reacted during the oxidation of olefins

The invention relates to a method for continuously returning an olefin which has not been reacted with hydroperoxide in order to form oxiranes during the epoxidation of olefins. Said olefin is contained in the flow of waste gas which is produced during epoxidation. Said method is characterised by th...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for continuously returning an olefin which has not been reacted with hydroperoxide in order to form oxiranes during the epoxidation of olefins. Said olefin is contained in the flow of waste gas which is produced during epoxidation. Said method is characterised by the following steps: (i) compressing and cooling the flow of waste gas, (ii) separating the olefin from the flow of waste gas obtained in step (i) by distillation,(iii) epoxidating the olefin separated in (ii) with hydroperoxide.
