Original Abstract

Glycol based heat transfer fluids represent the largest part of antifreeze liquid heat transfer media in the automotive, buildings, solar thermal systems and aviation as deicers. World annual consumption ranges in units of millions of tons and is continuously growing. This amount naturally is putting certain demands on the environment. There are two main reasons for this. The first one is given by production, as the primary raw materials for the production of glycols are oil and coal and the second is due to a very benevolent handling of the spent media.
