Abstract

Ethylene glycol (EG) has been obtained with 71.53% selectivity and 15.77% methanol conversion under optimized conditions using a double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor. The importance of the discharge intensity and the obvious catalytic effect of the hydrogen co-feed were observed.
