The present invention provides a novel process for producing hydrogen peroxide. The inventive process utilizes an aqueous liquid reaction medium, a gaseous reactant stream comprising oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, and a catalyst bed comprising a catalyst which is effective for catalyzing the production of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen. The inventive process preferably comprises the step of conducting the gaseous reactant stream and the liquid reaction medium through the fixed catalyst bed in a manner such that a pulse-flow regime is established in the catalyst bed. |
