1. A catalyst for the epoxidation of an olefin comprising a carrier and, deposited on the carrier, silver, a rhenium promoter, a first co-promoter, and a second co-promoter;
- wherein;
a) the quantity of the rhenium promoter deposited on the carrier is greater than 1 mmole/kg, relative to the weight of the catalyst;
b) the first co-promoter is selected from sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and mixtures thereof;
c) the second co-promoter is selected from tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and mixtures thereof;
d) the total quantity of the first co-promoter and the second co-promoter deposited on the carrier is at most 5.0 mmole/kg, relative to the weight of the catalyst; and
e) said carrier has a monomodal, bimodal or multimodal pore size distribution, with a pore diameter range of 0.01-200 μ
m, a specific surface area of 0.03-10 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.2-0.7 cm3/g, wherein the median pore diameter of said carrier is 0.1-100 μ
m and has a water absorption of 10-80%.

Abstract
A catalyst for the epoxidation of an olefin comprising a carrier and, deposited thereon, silver, a rhenium promoter, a first co-promoter, and a second co-promoter; wherein
- the quantity of the rhenium promoter deposited on the carrier is greater than 1 mmole/kg, relative to the weight of the catalyst;
- the first co-promoter is selected from sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and mixtures thereof;
- the second co-promoter is selected from tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and mixtures thereof;
- the total quantity of the first co-promoter and the second co-promoter deposited on the carrier is at most 5.0 mmole/kg, relative to the weight of the catalyst; and
- wherein the carrier has a monomodal, bimodal or multimodal pore size distribution, a pore diameter of 0.01-200 μm, a specific surface area of 0.03-10 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.2-0.7 cm3/g, wherein the median pore diameter is 0.1-100 μm, and a water absorption of 10-80%.
