Oxidation of propylene with oxygen, air and a mixture of nitrogen-oxygen in a barrier discharge is investigated. The selectivity towards formation of propylene oxide in pure oxygen is shown to be as high as 45 wt% and the propylene conversion ratio is found to be 12.9 wt%. In the oxidation with air, the propylene oxide selectivity is 23 wt%, while the conversion is 7.5 wt%. The values of propylene conversion and selectivity towards formation of propylene oxide in a barrier discharge are consistent with those obtained by the thermocatalytic methods for production of propylene oxide.
