Production of Acetaldehyde Via Oxidation of Ethylene: Legend

Ethylene is oxidized to acetaldehyde in a reactor using oxygen. The reaction produces water, which is removed by a scrubber. Impurities are separated from the light ends via distillation columns. Acetaldehyde is further purified and collected in a storage tank, while heavier products and wastewater are stored separately.
