OAOR process

The surface of the silver reaction channels was enhanced by means of the oxidation and outgassing reduction (OAOR) process, which relies on oxidation at 250 °C using pure oxygen and subsequent reduction. An increase in surface area by a factor of 2-3 was reached as indicated by chemisorption data. 

GP 2] [R 2] New microstructured silver platelets have no initial activity for ethylene oxide formation [26, 40]. After treatment with the OAOR process, a small increase in activity was observed. After 1000 h of operation under oxygen conditions, larger amounts of ethylene oxide were produced.
