 Abstract: Ethylene epoxidation over silver was investigated by combined in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and proton-transfer reaction mass-spectrometry (PTRMS) at temperatures from 300 to 520 K and in the pressure range from 0.07 to 1 mbar. Ethylene oxide was present among the reaction products at T 420 ≥ K and P ≥ 0.3 mbar. The catalytically active surface contains two oxygen species – nucleophilic and electrophilic oxygen. The observed correlation between the abundance of electrophilic oxygen and the yield of ethylene oxide expressed as C2H4O partial pressure indicates that namely this oxygen species oxidizes ethylene to ethylene oxide. Opposite trend is observed for nucleophilic oxygen: the higher is the abundance of this species, the lower is the yield of ethylene oxide. This result is in line with the known fact that nucleophilic oxygen due to its oxidic nature is active in total oxidation of ethylene to CO2 and H2O. The low activity of silver at T < 420 K is caused by the presence of carbonates and carbonaceous residues at the silver surface that reduce the available silver surface area for the catalytic reaction. Reduction of the surface area available for the formation of active species due to accumulation of the embedded oxygen species explains also the decrease of the rate of ethylene oxide formation with time observed for T 470 ≥ K.
