Ethylene Oxide-converted

Ethylene Oxide
ETHYLENE OXIDE IS AN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIAL
CHEMICAL. SO IT STORED AS A LIQUID AT
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND ROOM
TEMPERATURE, IT IS A GAS THAT IS FLAMMABLE.
THIS COMPOUND IS USED AS AN INTERMEDIATE
IN THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL,

WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY IS CONVERTED TO
POLYESTER FIBERS UTILIZED IN RUGS AND
CLOTHING, OR TO POLYETHYLENE
TEREPHTHALATE RESIN FOR BOTTLES AND
PACKAGING FILM. ETHYLENE GLYCOL IS WIDELY
UTILIZED AS AN AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE,
AND IT MIGHT BE USED FOR MANUFACTURING
FIBERGLASS.

AN IMPORTANT, ALTHOUGH SMALL USAGE OF
PROP 65 ETHYLENE OXIDE TEXAS CAN BE FOR
THE STERILIZATION OF SUPPLIES AND FOODS.
SIGNALS OF OVEREXPOSURE INCLUDE
DIZZINESS AND HEADACHE, AND
VULNERABILITY RESULTS IN SEIZURE,
CONVULSIONS, AND COMA.

THIS TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN THE WAY OF
PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE OXIDE
INDUSTRIALLY. - CH2OHCH2CL + OH C2H4O +
CL + H2O - NOTICE ETHYLENE CHLOROHYDRIN
CAN BE PREPARED BY THE ACTIONS OF ACID
ON ETHYLENE. ETHYLENE OXIDE IS A GAS AT
ROOM AVERAGE TEMPERATURE.

AS FOLLOWS, A MOLAR EXCESS OF WATER CAN BE USED
TO ACQUIRE ETHYLENE GLYCOL: C2H4O + H2O
HOCH2CH2OH - SORTS OF POLYETHYLENE OXIDE OR
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL, WHICH ARE POLYMERS OF
ETHYLENE GLYCOL, ARE FORMED AS COMPONENTS OF
THE RESPONSE. THE AMOUNT OF POLYMERIZATION
INCREASES AS THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER IS REDUCED: +
H2O HONH - FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE CONDITIONS
GENERATES TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL, DIETHYLENE GLYCOL,
ETC.

SIMILARLY, REACTION WITH AMMONIA MAY
YIELD ETHANOLAMINE, DIETHANOLAMINE, OR
TRIETHANOLAMINE. ETHYLENE OXIDE IS ALSO
IMPORTANT FROM THE PRODUCTION OF
SURFACTANTS ALONG WITH OTHER DETERGENTS,
IN A PROCESS CALLED ETHOXYLATION.

SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY IN TEXAS. ONE
CLASS OF ETHYLENE OXIDE DERIVATIVES
WHICH HAS ATTRACTED MUCH SCIENTIFIC
ATTENTION CONSISTING OF THE CROWN
ETHERS, THAT ARE CYCLIC OLIGOMERS OF
ETHYLENE OXIDE.
