The conversion of DMO to DMC through decarboxylation: Due to the continuous decline in the price of ethylene glycol (currently below 4,000 yuan), there are a number of issues associated with the hydrogenation of DMO to produce ethylene glycol, and the most critical issue is cost. The DMO decarboxylation to DMC technology becomes very important.
The DMO decarboxylation to DMC technology is a method for converting dimethyl in one step into dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Compared to the DMO hydrogenation route to ethylene glycol, the DMO decarboxylation route to DMC offers lower costs and higher yields. Firstly, as the price of ethylene glycol continues to fall, the cost of producing ethylene glycol via DMO hydrogenation increases. The DMO decarboxylation to DMC technology allows for the avoidance of these high costs associated with ethylene glycol production by directly converting dimethanol into DMC. This can reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency. Secondly, the DMO decarboxylation to DMC technique exhibits a higher yield. Traditional DMO hydrogenation to ethylene glycol requires multiple reaction steps, whereas the DMO decarboxylation to DMC process can convert dimethyl into DMC in just one reaction step. This can improve production efficiency and output. Overall, the DMO decarboxylation to DMC technology is very important at current ethylene glycol prices; it can effectively reduce costs and increase production, thereby bringing better economic benefits to the ethylene glycol manufacturing industry. .
