摘要: 环氧丙烷作为一种重要的有机化工中间体，在化工、医药和食品等行业中应用广泛，其合成方法主要包括氯醇法、共氧化法、异丙苯氧化法、过氧化氢氧化法以及氢气和氧气氧化法等；随着化工行业对环保与成本效益要求的不断提高，开发绿色、高效、低成本的合成技术已成为研究热点，未来环氧丙烷的合成研究将更加注重环境友好性、工艺流程的简化以及降本增效技术的开发。
Abstract: Propylene oxide is an important organic chemical intermediate widely used across industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food. Its synthesis methods primarily include the chlorohydrin process, co-oxidation process, cumene oxidation process, hydrogen peroxide oxidation process, as well as oxidation using hydrogen and oxygen. As the chemical industry increasingly emphasizes environmental protection and cost efficiency, the development of green, efficient, and low-cost synthesis technologies has become a research hotspot. Future research on propylene oxide synthesis will place greater emphasis on environmental friendliness, process simplification, and the development of technologies aimed at reducing costs and improving efficiency.
