A new apparatus is provided for producing epoxy compounds corresponding to olefins using olefins, hydrogen and oxygen. The apparatus is a device for producing an epoxy compound derived from the olefin by reacting hydrogen, oxygen and olefin in a liquid solvent in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the gas phase of the reactor comprises an inert gas, Hydrogen, an oxygen-containing gas having an oxygen concentration of at least 90% by volume, and an olefin are supplied to the gas phase and / or the liquid phase of the reactor for reaction, and a means for taking out the liquid phase containing the reaction product from the reactor. |
