Abstract

In a process for obtaining glycols from a dilute wood solution obtained by the hydrolysis of wood by sulphuric acid, the solution is clarified, freed from acid and catalytically hydrogenated; the resulting hexitol-pentitol solution is concentrated by adsorption on an anion exchanger impregnated with boric acid or borax and the adsorbed hexitol-pentitol mixtures displaced from the anion exchanger by an aqueous neutral liquid the weight of which is less than the weight of the solvent in the adsorption solution; the concentrated hexitol:pentitol solution is subjected to catalytic hydrogenative cracking and the products in the solution are adsorbed individually or in common on anion exchangers impregnated with boric acid or borax from which they are displaced by means of aqueous neutral liquids, the weights of which are together less than the weight of the solvent in the solution obtained by cracking the hexitol-pentitol solution. Suitable aqueous neutral liquids are, for example, an aqueous solution of a salt such as sodium sulphate, which can be used for displacing hexitols, an aqueous hexitol solution, which can be used for displacing glycerin, and water, which can be used for displacing 1,3-propylene glycol. In the example, a wood sugar solution obtained by the Scholler process is treated as described above to produce a hexitol-pentitol solution which is adsorbed on an anion exchanger previously treated with borax; the hexitols and pentitols are displaced by treating the ion exchanger with sodium sulphate or ammonium sulphate solution; the concentrated hexitol-pentitol solution is catalytically hydrogenated and the resulting solution treated with various anion exchangers which are treated respectively with sodium sulphate solution to displace the sorbitol, aqueous hexitol solution, to displace glycerol, water to displace 1,2-propylene glycol, water to displace ethylene glycol and water to displace 1,3-propylene glycol. Specification 838,501 is referred to.
