A polybenzimidazole supported Mo(VI) (PBI.Mo) catalyst has been prepared and
characterised. The catalytic activities of the PBI.Mo catalyst in epoxidation of alkene with
tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant have been studied under different reaction
conditions in a batch reactor. The batch experimental data provided useful information for
conducting continuous experiments in a reactive distillation column (RDC).
