What is Ethylene Glycol?
Ethylene glycol or glycol or ethane-1,2-diol is the simplest chemical compound of the glycol family.
The structural formula is HO-CH2-CH2-OH and the structural formula is C2H6O2 (it is the simplest of the diols). Ethylene glycol is commonly used as an antifreeze in automotive coolants. At room temperature it is a colorless, odorless viscous liquid with a sweet taste. Ethylene glycol is toxic and its ingestion requires urgent medical attention.
What is Ethylene Glycol used for?
It was invented in 1928 by I.G. Farben was developed in Ludwigshafen as a frost-resistant coolant for internal combustion engines and sold under the brand name Glysantin.
(Mono)ethylene glycol is currently mainly used for the production of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephthalate, a polyester made from stoichiometric amounts of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol with a degree of esterification of 100%. 45% of the amount produced worldwide is processed in China.
Due to its hydrophilic properties, it is used as an absorbent for removing water vapor from natural gas and refinery gas or hydrorefining cycle gases. Glycol-water mixtures are used at all commercial airports as a de-icing agent for aircraft and traffic areas.
In research, ethylene glycol is used as a solvent and reducing agent for the liquid-phase synthesis of one-dimensional metal nanostructures.
