PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ALKYLENE GLYCOL

摘要

The invention provides a process for the preparation of an alkylene glycol from an alkylene carbonate, wherein alkylene carbonate is hydrolysed in the presence of catalyst in a baffled reactor. The baffled reactor has at least four compartments, the compartments are formed by internal baffles and the internal baffles provide a sinuous route for reaction fluid through the reactor.
