An integrated process is provided for the production of propylene oxide from propane wherein propane is dehydrogenated to propylene and hydrogen and the resulting propylene, propane, and hydrogen mixture together with added oxygen is reacted over a palladium on titanium silicilite catalyst to form propylene oxide, the molar ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in the reaction feed being at least about 2/1.

Propylene oxide production

A process for the separation of ditertiary butyl peroxide form tertiary butanol is provided which includes the step of dehydrating the tertiary butanol to isobutylene and water.

Purification of ditertiary butyl peroxide

The present invention relates to the oxidation of a cycloalkane to produce a product comprised of cycloalkylhydroperoxide with the removal of a vapor stream from the oxidation zone wherein oxidation products such as hydroperoxide, cycloalkanol and cycloalkanone are separated from the removed stream before the stream is recycled to the oxidation zone.
