Abstract
China’s ethylene glycol has large gap,the traditional petroleum route production is insufficient,which laid a market foundation for the development of coal-based ethylene glycol.At the same time,the coal-based route conforms to the national policy about the clean utilization of coal is widely concerned.This paper analyzes the present situation of the coal-based ethylene glycol in China from the supply and demand and layout,and the cost comparison analysis of ethylene glycol from different routes is focus.The results show that the cost of the coal preparation ethylene glycol route is lower than the ethylene route,higher than the ethane route.It is considered that the coal-based route is the main way to expand the capacity in the future while the coal-based route is still competitive under low oil price,so it has broad prospects for development.
