Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING ETHYLENE OXIDE AND ETHYLENE GLYCOL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/032279
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a method for producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol, whereby the concentration of 1,4-dioxane included in drainage generated in the process of producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol can be reduced. [Solution] A method for producing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol, including: a step for producing a predetermined ethylene oxide; and a step for extracting a portion of a bottom liquid of an ethylene oxide stripping tower in the step for producing an ethylene oxide and supplying the extracted portion to a byproduct ethylene glycol concentrating column, concentrating the ethylene glycol formed as a byproduct in the step for producing an ethylene oxide, and distillation-separating 1,4-dioxane formed as a byproduct in the step for producing an ethylene oxide; the byproduct ethylene glycol concentrating column being a vertical-division-type distillation column.
