Abstract:
A process for the preparation of ethylene glycol and other C 1 -C 3  hydroxy compounds comprising the steps of hydrogenating a composition comprising C 1 -C 3  oxygenate compounds. In particular the process is suitable for hydrogenating a composition comprising different C 1 -C 3  oxygenate compounds, such as the product from a thermolytic fragmentation of a sugar composition.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for the preparation of a C 1 -C 3  hydroxy compound, comprising the steps of:\n a) providing an oxygenate feed composition comprising a C 1 -C 3  oxygenate compound in a total concentration of at least 20% by weight of oxygenate feed composition; and b) providing a chemical reactor comprising\n i. an inlet zone in fluid communication with \n ii. a reaction zone comprising a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst material in fluid communication with \n iii. an outlet zone; \n then c) feeding the oxygenate feed composition of step a) to the reactor inlet zone i) of step b) to obtain an initial total concentration of C 1 -C 3  oxygenate compound of less than 20% by weight of reactor fluid in the reaction zone ii) of step b); and d) in the reaction zone ii) reacting the C 1 -C 3 -oxygenate compound with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst material to obtain a C 1 -C 3  hydroxy compound; and then e) recovering from the outlet zone iii) the hydroxy product composition comprising the C 1 -C 3  hydroxy compound.
