The global ethylene glycol production capacity is about 3747 ten thousand tons in 2016, the consumption is 2614.5 ten thousand tons, and 85 percent of ethylene glycol is used in the polyester industry. At present, the industrial production of large-scale ethylene glycol at home and abroad mainly adopts a process route of a direct ethylene oxide hydration method, namely, ethylene is synthesized by a petroleum route, then ethylene oxide is oxidized to produce ethylene oxide, and finally EG is obtained by non-catalytic hydration reaction of ethylene oxide. The production technology is basically monopolized by three companies, Shell, Halcon-SD and UCC. The economic benefit of the production process is limited by the price of petroleum, and the fluctuation is large.
In recent years, with the large demand for ethylene glycol for polyester fibers, polyester plastics, antifreeze, and the like, research and development work on new synthetic techniques for ethylene glycol has been focused.
