Ethylene glycol, also known as monoethylene glycol (MEG), is a
major chemical commodity, widely used in the production of January 28, 2019
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle-grade resins and polyester January 26, 2019
fibers. These materials, in turn, are used to manufacture textiles,

January 24, 2019
MEG was first synthesized via the hydrolysis of ethylene glycol

diacetate. Now, it can be made from multiple raw materials, such as
coal, natural gas and ethylene. Globally, it is mainly produced from January 22, 2019

January 5, 2019
In the process described here, ethylene glycol is produced from
synthesis gas (syngas), a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide (CO)
January 4, 2019

and hydrogen (H2). CO is first converted to dimethyl oxalate (DMO), January 3, 2019
which is then hydrogenated to form ethylene glycol (Figure 1). January 2, 2019
Carbonylation. The CO and H2 in the feed syngas are separated. December 31, 2018
The recovered CO is fed to the carbonylation reactors along with a

recycled stream from the nitrite regeneration section (discussed
below) that contains an intermediate (methyl nitrite). Methyl nitrite December 28, 2018

reacts with CO to produce the intermediate DMO and nitric oxide December 27, 2018
(NO). The product from the carbonylation reactors is partially
