  • MEG recovery The mother liquor containing the MEG and methanol was passed through an evaporation or distillation system such as a thin film, a distillation column, an evaporator, etc, to remove around 70% of the methanol (at 30 °C under lull vacuum). The recovered slurry was then chilled at 3 to -6 °C and filtered. A liquid was recovered and the residual 30% of methanol was removed by evaporation or distillation. The MEG left was then distilled or evaporated at 100 °C under full vacuum.
  • an evaporation or distillation system such as a thin film, a distillation column, an evaporator, etc
  • the molar PET amount (calculated using the“PET” unit molecular weight of 192.17 g/mol) was 52 mol;
