  • PROCESSES FOR MAKING 1,2-DIACETOXYETHANE FROM MONOETHYLENE GLYCOL BY REACTIVE DISTILLATION AND INTEGRATED VINYL ACETATE MONOMER PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20260225987
    Abstract: This disclosure provides reactive distillation processes to produce ethylene glycol diacetate from monoethylene glycol and acetic acid, followed by acetic anhydride treatment to reduce 2-hydroxyethyl acetate and water to very low levels. Integration with vinyl acetate monomer cracking recovers acetic anhydride for reuse, enabling improved product purity, reduced heavies formation, lower corrosion, and meaningful capital and energy savings.
