Progress in Synthesis of Ethylene Glycol through Synthetic Gas

In this paper, progresses in the study on the conversion of synthetic gas to ethylene glycol , including direct synthesis by synthetic gas and indirect synthesis by methanol and formaldehyde or oxalate, were introduced. And the advantages and disadvantages of above processes were reviewed. It was suggested that the routes using methanol and formaldehyde or oxalate as the intermediums should be developed according to the recent economical and technological conditions.
