摘要
The coal(syngas)-to-ethylene glycol(CTEG),is contaminated with the naughty impurity 2-Methoxyethanol(ME)generated during the hydrogenation stage,which affect the quality of EG for fiber-grade polyester production.Distillation,is the employed separation process in industrial,which makes production complicated because of the heat sensitivity of the impurities system.Melt crystallization has been regarded as an effective technology to obtain high-purity organic compounds based on the melting points difference,which could avoid the problems by heating.In this work,we have explored the feasibility of the static melt crystallization on the separation of EG/ME in a jacketed crystallization tube.The experimental parameters were investigated,which covers crystallization and sweating stage in each step.The results showed that the purity of EG could reach≥99.8%from the binary system studied via the quaternary separation process.
