摘要: A process for removing ethylene oxide from a gas composition containing by intimately contacting the with an aqueous acidic solution and having pH less than about 4 initial temperature 50° C when comprises minimum volume required to substantially completely convert oxide. The of mole ratio acid in being converted is controlled permit complete conversion products including glycol polyethylene glycols while preventing evolution dissolved solution. During reaction, maintained 70° avoid
