    Abstract: A PROCESS FOR PREPARING DIOXOLANE BY REACTING ETHYLENE GLYCOL (1) WITH FORMALDEHYDE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION (2) IN THE PRESENCE OF CATALYSTS, WHEREIN THE REACTION IS CARRIED OUT IN A REACTIVE DISTILLATION COLUMN (RDK), WITH THE STARTING MATERIALS ETHYLENE GLYCOL (1) AND AQUEOUS FORMALDEHYDE SOLUTION (2) BEING FED INTO THE REACTIVE DISTILLATION COLUMN (RDK) IN THE MIDDLE REGION OF THE COLUMN AND A DIOXOLANE-COMPRISING STREEM (3) BEING TAKEN OFF FROM THE UPPER REGION OF THE REACTIVE DISTILLATION COLUMN (RDK) AND A BOTTOM STREAM (4) COMPRISING COMPONENTS HAVING BOILING POINTS HIGHER THAN THAT OF DIOXOLANE BEING TAKEN OFF, IS PROPOSED.

    Abstract: Processes comprising: providing a reactive distillation column having an upper region, a middle region and a lower region; feeding ethylene glycol and an aqueous formaldehyde solution into the reactive distillation column in the middle region of the reactive distillation column; reacting the ethylene glycol and the aqueous formaldehyde solution in the reactive distillation column in the presence of a catalyst to form dioxolane; removing a product stream comprising dioxolane in an amount of at least 75% by weight from the upper region of the reactive distillation column; and removing a bottom stream comprising one or more components having boiling points higher than dioxolane from the lower region of the reactive distillation column.
