Abstract
The invention relates to an integrated process for preparing an epoxide from an oxygenate, wherein the production of a lower olefin from the oxygenate and the subsequent epoxidation of the lower olefin is combined and wherein isobutene, a by-product of the lower olefin production, is converted into a hydroperoxide that is used for the conversion of the lower olefin into the corresponding epoxide.
