Problems solved by technology

Early ethylene oxide was produced by chlorohydrin, but now this method has been replaced by direct oxidation, that is, in the presence of air or oxygen, ethylene is oxidized by a silver oxide catalyst, and then ethylene oxide Ethylene glycol is obtained by hydrolysis and fractionation. The selectivity of ethylene glycol in this process is low, and water that is 20 times the mole number of ethylene oxide is required to achieve 90% ethylene glycol yield, and the energy consumption during concentration is increased.
At the same time, the raw material ethylene oxide is a toxic carcinogen, flammable and explosive, and has a great impact on the human body and the environment. It is produced by direct or indirect oxidation of ethylene. The main raw material for ethylene production is naphtha , light diesel oil and other raw material resources, these raw materials come from the cracking of petroleum, and petroleum is a non-renewable resource, which is currently facing an increasingly serious shortage

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production process of chemical raw materials, in particular to a new process for producing ethylene glycol. Background technique [0002] We know that ethylene glycol is an important chemical raw material, mainly used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET), followed by antifreeze, and ethylene glycol is also used for heat transfer Medium and thawing agent, the market situation is considerable. [0003] Industrially, the only method currently available for the large-scale production of ethylene glycol is the hydrolysis of ethylene oxide. Early ethylene oxide was produced by chlorohydrin, but now this method has been replaced by direct oxidation, that is, in the presence of air or oxygen, ethylene is oxidized by a silver oxide catalyst, and then ethylene oxide Ethylene glycol is obtained by hydrolysis and fractionation. The selectivity of ethylene glycol in this process is low, and water that is 20 times the mole number ...
