Abstract
A titanium-containing molecular sieve which has been used as an oxidation catalyst is regenerated to provide a level of performance comparable to that of freshly prepared catalyst by heating at less than 400.degree. C. in the presence of molecular oxygen. The same batch of catalyst thus may be used over an extended period of time in a continuous epoxidation process by periodic practice of the aforedescribed reactivation method.
