Abstract
A rapid quantitative analysis method for the oxidation products of propylene was established. The analysis system consists of a gas chromatograph equipped with two detectors. Many products from the oxidation reaction of propylene, such as propylene oxide, propionaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, can be simultaneously analyzed within 30 min. Actual catalytic activity tests under various temperature conditions confirmed that the analytical method was useful for the rapid screening of propylene oxidation catalysts.
