The invention pertains to a catalyst useful for the epoxidation of an olefin. More particularly, the invention pertains to an improved catalyst useful for the epoxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. The catalyst has improved selectivity in the epoxidation process. The catalyst comprises a solid support having a surface, which has a first mode of pores which have a diameter ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 5 μm and having a differential pore volume peak in the range of from about 0.01 μm to about 5 μm. The surface then has a second mode of pores, different from the first mode of pores, which second mode of pores have a diameter ranging from about 1 μm to about 20 μm and have a differential pore volume peak in the range of from about 1 μm to about 20 μm. On the bimodal pore surface is a catalytically effective amount of silver or a silver-containing compound, a promoting amount of rhenium or a rhenium-containing compound, and a promoting amount of one or more alkali metals or alkali-metal-containing compounds.

The method of claim 8, wherein the transition metal-containing compound is molybdenum, tungsten, or a combination thereof. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst further comprises a promoting amount of gallium, germanium, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, a halogen, or combinations thereof, on the surface of the support. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more alkali metals is selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and combinations thereof. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein said one or more alkali metals comprises cesium. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein said rhenium is present in an amount of about 0.001 wt % to about 1 wt % based on the total weight of the catalyst. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the epoxidation process is conducted at a temperature of about 180° C. to about 330° C. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the epoxidation process is conducted at a temperature of about 200° C. to about 325° C. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the epoxidation process is conducted at a temperature of about 225° C. to about 270° C. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein said second mode of pores has a mean diameter of 15.8 μm or 18.5 μm. 21. A method for the oxidation of an olefin to an olefin oxide, the method comprising: performing a vapor phase oxidation of an olefin with molecular oxygen in a fixed-bed tubular reactor in the presence of a catalyst the catalyst comprising: (i) a support having a bimodal pore size distribution, with a first mode of pores having a mean diameter ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 4 μm, and a second mode of pores having a mean diameter not within the range of the first mode of pores greater than 5 μm and up to about 30 μm (ii) a catalytically effective amount of silver, (iii) a promoting amount of rhenium, wherein the amount of said first mode of pores is less than second mode of pores, based on total pore volume.
