Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing ethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol. In the method, fiber is placed into water to react under the action of a catalyst at the temperature of 200-250 DEG C to obtain the ethylene glycol and the 1,2-propylene glycol. In the method, the fiber is hydrolyzed in hot water; on one hand, the WO3 catalyst, the load WO3 catalyst and the Ru/C catalyst are led into for providing acidity for promoting the acid hydrolysis of the fiber, on the other hand, the intermediate products in the hydrolysis can be inverted into low-carbon matters, and hydrogenationis carried out, so as to obtain the ethylene glycol and the 1,2-propylene glycol. The method has simple process, quick reaction, high efficiency and less energy and is easy for industrialization; no liquid acid is added, and no waste acid is discharged, therefore, the method is environmentally friendly. The method has low requirement on equipment, can not cause the corrosion of the equipment and has small investment; moreover, the inversion rate of the fiber is 100% high, the yield of the ethylene glycol can reach 35%, and the yield of the 1,2-propylene glycol can reach 31%; therefore, the method has significant application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cellulose production, in particular to a method for producing ethylene glycol and 1,2-propanediol from cellulose. Background technique [0002] Biomass, as a widely existing renewable resource, is considered to be a source of energy and chemicals that can replace fossil resources in the future. In biomass, cellulose accounts for the main part. Its effective conversion is an important content of biomass utilization and a key step in replacing fossil resources in the future. Cellulose is a macromolecule formed by the polymerization of glucose through glycosidic bonds. Depolymerizing it into small molecular weight platform molecules and converting them into other useful chemicals is a feasible route for cellulose conversion. [0003] Polyols are regarded as an important class of platform molecules for cellulose conversion. At present, there are not many methods for synthesizing polyols from cellulose, and this field ...
