A novel technique for mounting the Cambron‐McKim silver catalyst has been developed which provides a highly conducting metal path between the catalyst and the temperature control medium. Its effectiveness as a means of maintaining control over a highly exothermic reaction has been demonstrated in a small pilot plant for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide.
