On the production of oxalic acid from ethylene glycol
There is now a way to make oxalic acid, starting with ethylene glycol and ending with oxalic acid.

Fuethylene glycol is a colorless liquid with the properties of alcohols. In various chemical environments, it can be formed by specific reactions to form oxalic acid.

First, you need to place a suitable container, choose pure ethylene glycol, with corresponding reagents. Or put it into the catalytic environment, the catalyst can change the corresponding rate, but its own quality and quantity remain unchanged before and after the reaction. In the process of making oxalic acid, the catalyst can make the reaction of ethylene glycol more likely to go in the direction of oxalic acid.

When reacting, temperature control is very important. The temperature is related to the speed of the reaction and the purity of the product. If the temperature is too low, the reaction is slow and takes a long time; if the temperature is too high, it may cause side effects and impure oxalic acid. Therefore, it is necessary to use a precise method to detect the change of temperature and keep the appropriate temperature.

Also pay attention to the atmosphere of the reaction, or in an aerobic state or in an anaerobic state, the atmosphere is different, and the reaction process and fruit are different. If in an aerobic state, or in an oxidizing state, ethylene glycol gradually becomes oxalic acid. During this period, the ratio of various substances and the reaction time need to be carefully weighed. Improper proportions and wrong duration can all lead to poor products.

After the reaction is completed, the post-treatment should not be underestimated. It needs to be separated and purified to make oxalic acid precipitate from the reaction mixture, remove its impurities, and obtain pure oxalic acid. Among them, or use distillation, filtration, crystallization, etc., according to the actual situation.

After these steps, ethylene glycol as the source can achieve the purpose of oxalic acid. If you want to get a good effect, each step needs to be carefully operated and well-understood before you can achieve this chemical industry.
