## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Ethylene carbonate (EC) was synthesised via urea and ethylene glycol (EG) over zinc/iron oxide catalyst. By so doing, the byβproduct, EG, generated in the process of producing dimethyl carbonate by the transesterification route was converted back to the raw material, EC.
