Therefore, production generally is done on large scale integrated sites from ethylene down to its various derivative markets. In this process, 100 mol/h of pure ethylene is fed The catalyst is a palladium oxide (PdO) surface on a polycrystalline palladium wire. C07D301/10Synthesis of the oxirane ring by oxidation of unsaturated compounds, or of mixtures of unsaturated and saturated compounds with air or molecular oxygen in the gaseous phase with. In 1937, Carbide started up the first plant based on Lefort's process for vapor-phase oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. The boiling point is 12C and therefore it is a gas at room temperature. Ethylene is widely used in the chemical industry, and its worldwide production (over 150 million tonnes in 2016) exceeds that of any other organic .

There is, however, stiU some commercial production by the partial oxidation of ethyl alcohol and hydration of acetylene. Ethylene oxide, from ethyl alcohol Since 1960, the Hquid-phase oxidation of ethylene has been the process of choice for the manufacture of acetaldehyde. Catalytic activities were considerably higher when the pulsed technique was used, and the best characteristics were obtained when a mixture of 60-70% ethylene . 1a . Studies on ethylene sensing using oxide semiconductor chemiresistors are currently in the nascent stage. This reaction was selected because microreaction technology provides equipment with very good mass- and heat-transfer conditions, which avoids hot spots inside the reactor channels .
