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.

Ethylene glycol in coolant or propylene gylcol?

Propylene glycol is generally considered safer than ethylene glycol for use in coolant/antifreeze due to its lower toxicity. This makes propylene glycol a preferred choice for applications where accidental ingestion may occur, such as in RVs or marine engines. Additionally, propylene glycol is less harmful to the environment compared to ethylene glycol.

How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?

Ethanol is used as an antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning because it competes with ethylene glycol for the same enzyme that metabolizes both substances in the liver. By giving ethanol, it can inhibit the formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol, thereby reducing its toxicity. This allows more ethylene glycol to be excreted unchanged in the urine.
