Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing glycol, which mainly solves the problem that catalysts in the prior art are poor in stability and short in regeneration period. By adopting a technical proposal of taking oxalate as raw material, taking polar or nonpolar solvent as thinner and allowing the raw material to be in contact with and react with a copper-bearing catalyst so as to form glycol-containing effluent at a temperature between 120 and 300 DEG C, at a weight space velocity between 0.01 and 10 hours, with the hydrogen/ester molar ratio of 5-300:1, under the reaction pressure between 0.1 and 10.0 MPa, under the condition that the mass fraction of the oxalate is between 0.1 and 100 percent, the method solves the problem well, and can be used in the industrial production of glycol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ethylene glycol, in particular to a method for producing ethylene glycol by catalytic hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate or diethyl oxalate. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol (EG) is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of polyester fiber, antifreeze, unsaturated polyester resin, lubricant, plasticizer, nonionic surfactant and explosives, etc. It can be used in industries such as paint, photographic developer, brake fluid and ink, as a solvent and medium for ammonium perborate, and for the production of special solvents such as glycol ether, etc., and has a wide range of uses. [0003] At present, large-scale ethylene glycol production at home and abroad adopts the process route of direct hydration or pressurized hydration. This process is to prepare a mixed aqueous solution of ethylene oxide and water at a ratio of 1:20 to 22 (molar ratio) in a fixed bed. ...
