Abstract: Glycolic acid is hydrogenated in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of metallic cobalt and thorium oxide.

Abstract: Ethylene glycol is produced by the liquid phase reaction of ethylene, oxygen and water in the presence of a catalyst comprising iodine or an iodine-containing compound and bromine or a bromine-containing compound.

Abstract: Sulfate is removed from glycolic acid, prepared by the sulfuric acid catalyzed carbonylation of formaldehyde and intended for use as an intermediate in the production of ethylene glycol by catalytic hydrogenation by treating the glycolic acid with alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate, and esterifying the glycolic acid; the alkali metal sulfate being substantially completely precipitated in and separated from the esterification product.

Abstract: Disclosed is trisulfosuccinic acid and salts thereof described by the formula: ##STR1## where one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is hydrogen and the remainder are SO.sub.3 M; and where M may be the same or different cation selected from hydrogen or an alkali metal. These compounds may be prepared by aqueous liquid phase reaction of a dihalomaleic anhydride, alkali metal hydroxide and an alkali metal sulfite and are useful as detergent builders.
