Abstract
The reaction of ethylene oxide hydration proceeds under acid and basic catalysis. Using of heterogeneous catalysts allows to adjust the length of the chain. The kinetics of the selective hydration of ethylene oxide in aqueous solution in the presence of layered double hydroxides as heterogeneous catalysts was studied. It was shown that the molecular weight distribution of the reaction products depends on the concentration of active sites on the catalyst surface as well as the inner structure of the catalysts.
