    Abstract: A process for the distillative recovery of high purity monoethylene glycol from the hydrolysis, product of ethylene oxide by pressure dewatering, preferably in a battery, vacuum dewatering and subsequent purifying distillation, wherein during the vacuum dewatering an aqueous stream is withdrawn which contains-monoethylene glycol in a concentration below 1% by weight, preferably below 0.1% by weight, medium boilers and low boilers. The withdrawn aqueous stream is, optionally after further workup, removed from the system.

    Abstract: A process for preparing tri- and tetraoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ether (POMDMEn=3,4) by reacting formaldehyde with methanol and subsequently workin g up the reaction mixture by distillation, comprising the steps of: a) feeding aqueous formaldehyde solution and methanol into a reactor and reacting to gi ve a mixture a comprising formaldehyde, water, methylene glycol (MG), polyoxymethylene glycols (MGn>1), methanol, hemiformals (HF), methylal (POMDMEn=1) and polyoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (POMDMEn>1); b) feeding the reaction mixture a into a first distillation column and separati ng into a low boiler fraction b1 and a high boiler fraction b2 comprising formaldehyde, water, methanol, polyoxymethylene glycols, hemiformals and polyoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (POMDMEn>1); c) feeding the high boiler fraction b2 into a second distillation column and separating into a l ow boiler fraction c1 comprising formaldehyde, water, methylene glycol, polyoxymethylene glycols, methanol, hemiformals, di-, tri- and tetraoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ether (POMDMEn=2,3,4) and a high boiler fraction c2; d) feeding the low boiler fraction c1 into a third distillation column and separating into a low boiler fraction d1 and a high boiler fracti on d2 substantially consisting of formaldehyde, water, methylene glycol, polyoxymethylene glycols, tri- and tetraoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ether (POMDMEn=3,4); e) feeding the high boiler fraction d2 into a phase separatio n apparatus and separating into an aqueous phase e1 substantially consisting o f formaldehyde, water, methylene glycol and polyoxymethylene glycols, and an organic phase e2 comprising tri- and tetraoxymethylene glycol dimethyl ether (POMDMEn=3,4); f) feeding the organic phase e2 into a fourth distillation column and separating into a low boiler fraction f1 substantially consisting of formaldehyde, water, methylene glycol and polyoxymethylene glycols, and a high boiler fraction f2 substantially consisting of tri- and tetraoxymethyle ne glycol dimethyl ether (POMDMEn=3,4).

    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated process for preparing trioxane from formaldehyde in which, in a first step, a stream A 1 comprising water and formaldehyde and a recycle stream B 2 consisting substantially of water and formaldehyde are fed to a trioxane synthesis reactor in which the formaldehyde is converted to trioxane to obtain a product stream A 2 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde. Stream A 2 and a recycle stream D 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde are fed to a first distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 0.1 to 2.5 bar to obtain a stream B 1 enriched in trioxane, and the stream B 2 consisting substantially of water and formaldehyde. Stream B 1 is fed to a second distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 0.2 to 17.5 bar to obtain a product stream C 2 consisting substantially of trioxane, and a stream C 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde. Stream C 1 is fed to a third distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 1 to 10 bar to obtain the recycle stream D 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde, and a stream D 2 consisting substantially of water.
