Advances in the Comprehensive Utilization of Diethylene Glycol

As the byproduct of ethylene glycol(EG) produced by hydration of ethylene oxidation,diethylene glycol(DEG) was increased in output with the rapid devolopment of ethylene glycol industry in China.Thus,the development of derivative products of DEG and the new uses of DEG got more and more attention.The advances in the comprehensive utilization of DEG in China was introduced,and the application of DEG's downstream,such as morpholine,diethylene glycol ethers,diethylene glycol esters,1,4-dioxane,diglycolic acid,diethylene glycol amine etc.were described in this paper.
