    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chemical manufacture. In particular, it relates to a method for manufacturing racemic methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA) comprising the steps of contacting a solution comprising or being enriched in D-alanine or L-alanine to an alanine racemase at a temperature of at least 50° C. and alkaline conditions for a time sufficient to allow conversion of said solution into a racemic alanine solution, obtaining a racemic alanine solution, and chemically converting the racemic alanine into racemic MGDA. The invention further contemplates an alanine racemase which is capable of converting a solution comprising or being enriched in D-alanine or L-alanine into racemic alanine solution at a temperature of at least 50° C. and under alkaline conditions as well as the use of said alanine racemase for converting a solution comprising or being enriched in D-alanine or L-alanine into racemic alanine solution at a temperature of at least 50° C. and under alkaline conditions.

    Abstract: Process for making a solid alkali metal salt (A) of an aminocarboxylate complexing agent, said process comprising the steps of



    (a) providing a 40 to 80% by weight aqueous solution or slurry comprising salt (A),
    (b) optionally, heating said slurry or solution to a temperature in the range of from 50 to 150° C.,
    (c) introducing the slurry or solution from step (a) or, if applicable, step (b) into an essentially horizontal cylindrical drying apparatus containing a stirring element that rotates around an essentially horizontal axis and that is charged with solid particles of salt (A), and
    (d) removing most of the water by evaporation,
    (e) removing solid salt (A) as granule.
