The invention relates to a novel catalyst for hydrogenation for hydrogenating at least one of dicarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride. The catalyst for hydrogenation according to a first embodiment is obtained by supporting at least one of palladium or platinum, and cobalt on a carrier, and subjecting the resulting carrier to a reduction treatment at 400 K or higher. The catalyst for hydrogenation according to a second embodiment is obtained by supporting at least one of palladium or platinum, and molybdenum on a carrier, and subjecting the resulting carrier to a reduction treatment at 500 K or higher.

Method for lowering aldehyde content in a mixture comprising (i) diethylene glycol (DEG) and/or triethylene glycol (TEG) and (ii) aldehyde are disclosed. An ion exchange resin is soaked in monoethylene glycol. The mixture comprising 5 to 200 ppm aldehyde is then flowed to make contact with the soaked ion exchange resin to produce a product comprising DEG and/or TEG and less than 15 ppm aldehyde.
