The present invention provides a method for increasing the UV transmittance of ethylene glycol. The method uses an ethylene glycol solution and hydrogen as raw materials, and uses an alloy catalyst comprising nickel, one or more rare-earth elements, tin, and aluminum, the contents thereof in parts by weight being 10-90, 1-5, 1-60, and 5-9, respectively. The method of the present invention uses an inexpensive, stable-in-aqueous-phase, carrier-free alloy as a catalyst, and continuously adds hydrogen to reduce unsaturated impurities in ethylene glycol. In application of the method of the present invention in continuous industrial-scale production, the use of this type of alloy catalyst could be especially significant for the achievement of long-term system stability and control of production costs.
