    Abstract: A process for the distillative recovery of high purity monoethylene glycol from the hydrolysis product of ethylene oxide by pressure dewatering, vacuum dewatering and subsequent purifying distillation, which includes the pressure dewatering columns or at least the first pressure dewatering column of the battery (2, 3, 4) having a stripping section with at least one separating stage, preferably with from 2 to 10 separating stages, particularly preferably with from 3 to 6 stages, and a portion of the overhead stream of the pressure dewatering column(s) (2, 3, 4) having a stripping section being removed from the system.

    Abstract: In the production of anhydrous formic acid by hydrolysis of methyl formate followed by distillation, extraction of the bottom product with an amide extractant (I) and further distillation stages, a part-stream of (I) is taken out and fed into the first distillation column at a point between the inlet for the hydrolysis mixture and the methanol take-off point. A process for the production of (essentially) anhydrous formic acid (FA) involves: (i) hydrolysis of methyl formate (MF), (ii) removal of methanol and excess MF by distillation, (iii) liquid-liquid extraction of the bottom product with an amide of formula R (R )NC(O)R (I), (iv) distillation of the extract, (v) recycling the top product from (iv) (containing water and some FA) to the lower part of the distillation column used in stage (ii), (vi) separation of the bottom product from (iv) by distillation into anhydrous FA and extractant (I) and (vii) recycling (I) into the process from stage (vi). In this process, part of the extractant (I) is taken off and fed into the distillation unit for stage (ii) at a point above the inlet for the hydrolysis mixture and below the take-off point for methanol. R , R = alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, or R plus R plus the linking nitrogen may form a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle, with the proviso that only one of these groups is aryl; R = H or 1-4C alkyl. An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used for this process, comprising a synthesis reactor (6), a hydrolysis reactor (1), a distillation column (2) for stage (ii), a distillation column (4) for stage (iv), an extraction unit (3), a distillation column (5) for stage (vi) and a connecting line (8) for transferring a part-stream of extractant (I) to distillation column (2).

    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: The invention relates to a method for obtaining highly pure monoethylene glycol from the product of hydrolysis of ethylene oxide by distillation, by means of dehydration under pressure, preferably in a cascade, vacuum dehydration and subsequent pure distillation. During the vacuum dehydration, an aqueous stream containing monoethylene glycol in a concentration of less than 1 wt. %, preferably less than 0.1 wt. %, medium boilers and light boile rs is drawn off and then sluiced out, optionally after reprocessing.
