ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Bromide Phase; (2) Oxalate Treatment; and (3) MEG Purification.</p><p>Bromide Phase. In an electrochemical reactor, CO2 is electrochemically reduced into oxalate at the cathode and bromide is oxidized into bromine. The catholyte and anolyte used in the process are tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBA-Br) salt dissolved in acetonitrile solvent. In this area, the oxalate is acidified to oxalic acid. First, the oxalate anions are absorbed using a basic anion exchange resin and further desorbed using hydrogen bromide dissolved in methanol. The hydrogen bromide is further removed from the oxalic acid dissolved in methanol, while the TBA-Br in acetonitrile is recovered and recycled back to the electrochemical reaction.</p><p>Oxalate Treatment. The oxalic acid solution is sent to esterification, where it reacts with methanol to produce dimethyl oxalate. The ester is hydrogenated to generate Ethylene Glycol in a gaseous phase reaction. Methanol is separated from the main product and water, and is recycled to dissolve hydrogen bromide upstream.</p><p>MEG Purification. The product stream is passed through a series of columns, in order to remove light and heavy impurities, such as 1,2-butanediol by-product. Fiber Grade Ethylene Glycol is stored.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This study presents the economics of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the United States using an electrochemical process similar to Liquid Light process. Initially, CO2 is electrochemically reduced and acidified into oxalic acid. Then, oxalic acid is esterified with methanol producing dimethyl oxalate, which is hydrogenated forming MEG.
