The acetaldehyde yield is about 95% in either, and byproducts are chlorinated hydrocarbons, chlorinated acetaldehydes, and acetic acid.

Due to the <a href="/facts/Corrosive/7LXjT1XE">corrosive</a> nature of the catalyst, either process requires a reactor lined with acid-proof <a href="/facts/Ceramic/9JKudpqX">ceramic</a> and <a href="/facts/Titanium/53ArnDoy">titanium</a> tubing, but the two-stage process requires more reactors and piping. Generally, the choice of method is governed by the raw material and energy situations as well as by the availability of oxygen at a reasonable price.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42"><sup>42</sup></a> </p> <h3>One-stage process</h3> <p><a href="/facts/Ethene/QMNBYLYn">Ethene</a> and <a href="/facts/Oxygen/acyn6o8r">oxygen</a> are passed co-currently in a reaction tower at about 130 °C and 400 kPa.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43"><sup>43</sup></a> The catalyst is an aqueous solution of <a href="/facts/Palladium_dichloride/ECyezouw">PdCl2</a> and <a href="/facts/Copper_chloride/YbJa7Skv">CuCl2</a>.

Palladium is deposited as a black powder, but no trace of oxidation to carbon dioxide occurs. The reaction is almost the same in the cold and at 100°.
