    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing ethylene carbonate and/or ethylene glycol, which comprises the following steps: a) supplying an overhead absorber stream withdrawn from an absorber to a vapor-liquid separator to yield an aqueous bottoms stream and a recycle gas stream; b) supplying an aqueous process stream comprising one or more impurities to a distillation apparatus to yield an overhead impurities stream and a purified aqueous process stream, wherein the aqueous process stream supplied to the distillation apparatus comprises at least a portion of the aqueous bottoms stream withdrawn from the vapor-liquid separator, wherein the overhead impurities stream is supplied to a condenser and is cooled to a temperature in the range of from 5 to 95° C., wherein the cooled overhead impurities stream is split into a reflux stream which is recycled to the distillation apparatus and an overhead impurities stream; and further steps c) and d).

    Abstract: We have discovered that addition of water to a mixture of oxygenates increases their volatility relative to methanol. A process and apparatus are disclosed for separating methanol from other oxygenates. Water is separated from a stream comprising water, methanol and at least one other oxygenate to provide a water rich stream and a methanol and oxygenate rich stream. The methanol and oxygenate rich stream and water are fed to a column to provide an oxygenate rich stream and a methanol and water extract stream. The methanol and water can then be readily separated from each other.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a Process for the production of ethylene oxide, comprising the steps of: (a) producing ethylene by subjecting a stream comprising ethane to oxidative dehydrogenation conditions, resulting in a stream comprising ethylene, ethane, water and acetic acid; (b) separating at least part of the stream resulting from step (a) into a stream comprising ethylene and ethane and a stream comprising water and acetic acid; (c) producing ethylene oxide by subjecting ethylene and ethane from the stream comprising ethylene and ethane resulting from step (b) to oxidation conditions, resulting in a stream comprising ethylene oxide, ethylene, ethane and water; (d) separating at least part of the stream resulting from step (c) into a stream comprising ethylene and ethane and a stream comprising ethylene oxide and water; (e) recycling ethylene and ethane from the stream comprising ethylene and ethane resulting from step (d) to step (a), wherein carbon dioxide is produced in steps (a) and (c) and is removed in an additional step between steps (b) and (c) and/or between steps (d) and (e).

    Abstract: A process for the preparation of an alkylene glycol from an alkene is provided, along with an absorber apparatus. The process comprises: supplying a gas composition to an absorber comprising a column of vertically stacked trays, wherein each of the vertically stacked trays comprises: a perforated gas-liquid contacting member or members, a liquid inlet area, an outlet weir extending vertically above a surface of the tray at an opposite end of the tray from the liquid inlet area and having a height of at least 200 mm and at most 1500 mm, and a downcomer element which, in cooperation with an inner surface of a wall of the column, forms a downcomer for the passage of liquid downwardly to the liquid inlet area of an adjacent vertically stacked tray below, and allowing the gas composition to pass upwards through the alkylene oxide absorber.
