Abstract

An Ag/α-Al2O3 catalyst designed for application in the epoxidation of ethylene was prepared through thermal decomposition assisted by extract of Cinnamomum camphora. The effects of the reaction parameters on the catalytic performance were evaluated, including the extract concentration, calcining temperature and calcining time. The results demonstrated that the thermal decomposition should be conducted at 600° C in N2 for 60 min, assisted by 0.25 g ...
