Summary:Combined process for manufacturing epoxypropane and acetic acid comprising a first stage of oxidizing, with molecular oxygen,up to 50 percent of a propylene charge dissolved in a paraffinic hydrocarbon in the presence of a molybdenum, tungsten or vanadium - containing catalyst, a second stage of fractionating the resulting product and separating from unconverted products epoxypropane and a heavy fraction, a third stage of oxidizing at least one part of said heavy fraction in the presence of a catalyst containing cobalt and/or manganese, and a fourth stage of separating the resulting acetic acid.
