title: Direct synthesis of ethylene glycol from methanol by dielectric barrier discharge.
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.
