    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the extractive recovery of a homogeneous ruthenium catalyst from the reaction product of the hydrogenation of glycolic acid, glycolate esters, and/or glycolic acid oligomers with an extractant comprising a hydrophobic solvent and an optional hydrophilic solvent. The ruthenium catalyst, which can include 1,1,1-tris(diaryl- or dialkylphosphinomethyl)alkane ligands, can be recovered from the hydrophobic extract phase by back extraction with a hydrophilic solvent and recycled to a process for the preparation of ethylene glycol by the hydrogenation of glycolic acid and glycolic acid derivatives.

    Abstract: Processes for recovering dialkyl terephthalates. The processes can include exposing a polyester composition to one or more glycols to depolymerization conditions thereby providing one or more depolymerization products. The one or more glycols can include diethylene glycol (DEG), triethylene glycol (TEG), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), neopentyl glycol (NPG), propane diol (PDO), butanediol (BDO), 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MP diol), poly(tetramethylene ether)glycol (PTMG), or a combination thereof. The one or more depolymerization products can be exposed to an alcoholysis process to recover dialkyl terephthalate. Optionally, ethylene glycol (EG) produced from the depolymerization process can be recovered and re-used in a subsequent dialkyl terephthalate recovery or other process.
