the catalyst is used inside the reactor to activate the reaction of the ethylene and oxygen in order to produce ethylene oxide EO. those catalyst are small Wight balls fit inside the reactor tubes and by passing combined gases (oxygen, ethylene, nitrogen, and some other gases) they will react in a maintained temperature and pressure then form the EO. There are two types of catalyst: high selectivity catalyst low selectivity catalyst i wish that i answered the question & glad to answer any further question.
