Abstract

The kinetics of selective hydration of ethylene- and propylene oxides in concentrated aqueous solutions is studied during homogeneous catalysis by sodium bicarbonate. The mathematical model of the process with determined parameters adequately describing the rate of the reaction and products distribution is developed.
