Ethanol: Properties, Reactions, Production And Uses
The catalytic hydration of ethylene to ethanol involves a series of steps, as illustrated in Figure 1. In addition to the desired hydration reaction, side reactions can occur, leading to the formation of byproducts. At lower temperatures, diethyl ether can be produced, while at higher pressures, polymerization of ethylene to butenes and higher olefins may …
