Abstract:

Features of fractionation mixture in the synthesis of ethylene glycol by hydration of ethylene oxide in reaction-rectification column are studied. Adequacy of the mathematical model applied to the process is evidenced. The ethylene glycol purity is shown depending on the process mainly. Side reaction polyglycols formation restricts obtaining high purity ethylene glycol: It can be isolated only as sideway stream the bottom section of the reaction-rectification column.
