  • the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of ethylene glycol starting from ethylene (Ee) .
  • Ethylene Glycol (Mono-Ethylene Glycol or MEG) is an important organic chemical raw material mainly used in the production of polyester (more precisely of PET or poly-ethylene-terephthalate) and as antifreeze agent.
  • ethylene glycol production is generally made using a non-catalytic direct hydration method wherein ethylene oxide (EO) and water are reacted generally in a molar ratio of about 1: 20-22 (molar ratio) resulting in an ethylene glycol aqueous solution containing only about 10% (mass fraction) of MEG, the rest being water and by-products like diethylene glycol (DEG) and triethylene glycol (TEG) .
