Abstract
An olefin oxide is produced from an olefin in an electrolytic cell by mixing an aqueous electrolyte and liquid olefin under pressure, flowing the liquid mixture through a restricting device into the electrolytic bath of the cell to reduce the pressure of the mixture and to vaporize the olefin, and applying an electric current to the electrolyte/olefin mixture. The electrolyte includes a metal halide, a carbonate salt and a bicarbonate salt.
