    Ethylene Oxide and Ethylene Glycol Production From Ethanol

    Uploaded by

    Shermal Fernando
    The document describes the production of ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol from ethanol, involving two main reactor units: an adiabatic dehydration reactor and tubular catalytic reactor. Ethylene oxide produced is used to make polyester fiber, fiberglass, and as a surface disinfectant and sterilizer. Ethylene glycol produced is used as an antifreeze, to make polyesters, synthetic waxes and resins, and fiberglass. The process involves multiple paths and major unit operations like distillation and drying.
