Abstract
Ethylene oxide began to be produced on an industrial scale through the catalytic oxidation of ethylene with air in 1937, and Shell later launched an oxygen oxidation plant. Silver metal deposited on an inert support was used as a catalyst. However, this method fails with the oxidation of other alkenes and functional groups and with ethylene unsaturation. In the case of propylene epoxidation, about half of the world's production of propylene oxide comes from the chlorine method and half from the use of hydroperoxides (t-butyl hydroperoxide and ethylbenzene). For substituted alkenes, liquid-phase peroxidation is still the most used method, although the reaction is slow and leads to a large number of carboxylic acids and esters as by-products. The article presents the results of research on the application of the TOPSIS method within the proprietary IT system in order to select the optimal process parameters. The aim of the research was to answer the question whether the operation of the proprietary IT system using the TOPSIS method would significantly simplify the testing process, shorten the time to obtain results and reduce the cost of testing.
