    摘要: An amorphous form of a chelating agent is provided, in particular wherein the chelating agent comprises ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid/edetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid/pentetic acid (DTPA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), amino tris(methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP), ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMP), 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS), iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), hydroxamic acid, oxalic acid, galactaric acid, metaphosphoric acid, or phytic acid, or a salt of any one or more of the above acids, or a mixture of two or more of any of the above acids or salts thereof.
    A process for preparing an amorphous form of a chelating agent comprises the steps of: a) Dissolving the chelating agent in a suitable solvent; b) Optionally purifying the solution; c) Isolating an amorphous form of the chelating agent; d) Optionally post drying or conditioning the amorphous form of the chelating agent.

    摘要: There is disclosed a process for the production of long chain amino acid and long chain dibasic acid, comprising: (1) reacting long chain keto fatty acid with hydroxylamine or subjecting keto fatty acid to an ammoximation reaction to yield an oxime fatty acid; (2) reacting the oxime fatty acid with an alcohol or a primary amine or a secondary amine to prepare an ester or amide; (3) subjecting the oxime fatty acid ester or amide to the Beckmann rearrangement to yield a mixture of two amide fatty acids; (4) hydrolyzing the mixed amide fatty acids to produce long chain amino acid, long chain dibasic acid, short chain alkylamine, and alkanoic acid.

    摘要: There is disclosed a process for the separation of long chain amino acid and long chain dibasic acid, comprising: (1) recovering alkylamine from an aqueous solution of an alkali hydroxide hydrolysis of the mixed amide derivatives by distilling or by extracting with an extractant solvent; (2) cooling the aqueous solution of step (1) to precipitate a mixed alkali salts of long chain amino acid and dibasic acid; (3) recovering the mixed alkali salts of long chain amino acid and dibasic acid to provide a mother liquor; (4) separating long chain amino acid and dibasic acid by acidification-extraction of long chain dibasic acid with an extractant solvent or by selective dissolution of alkali salt of long chain amino acid in an aqueous solvent; and (4) adding an acid to the mother liquor of step (3) to obtain alkanoic acid.

    摘要: There is disclosed a process for the purification of long chain amino acids by recrystallization in an aqueous solution of organic carboxylic acid in the absence or presence of solvent, comprising: (1) dissolving a long chain amino acid in an aqueous solution of organic carboxylic acid by heating; (2) cooling the solution of step (1) to crystallize the long chain amino acid; and (3) recovering the long chain amino acid of step (2) by means of solid-liquid separation.
