Abstract
The activity of titanium-containing heterogeneous catalysts such as titania-on-silica which have been used to catalyze olefin epoxidation is effectively restored by heating in the presence of oxygen at a temperature of 700.degree. C. or greater. Epoxide selectivity is enhanced by treatment of the heated catalyst with a silylating agent, even where the used catalyst had been silylated when initially prepared.
