This lecture covers the production of ethanol from ethylene, including the conversion to diethyl ether. It discusses the reactor effluent gas analysis, degree-of-freedom analysis, molar composition, conversion of ethylene, yield of ethanol, and selectivity. The lecture also explores the reasons for low ethylene conversion, downstream processing steps, and the importance of product selectivity.
