Produced from Bio-based raw material (L-Glutamic acid)
Production of GLDA 4NA 47%:
The production of GLDA 4NA 47% involves a series of chemical reactions and purification steps designed to yield a high-performance, biodegradable chelating agent derived from natural, renewable resources.
GLDA, a derivative of glutamic acid, is synthesized primarily using processes that emphasize sustainability and eco-friendliness.
Raw Materials:
The key raw material for GLDA production is L-glutamic acid, an amino acid that can be sourced from renewable agricultural products such as corn, sugarcane, or molasses.
This ensures that the process aligns with green chemistry principles.
Additional reagents include acetic acid, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), and formaldehyde, which are used to achieve the desired chemical transformations.
Synthesis Process:
The production involves the following key steps:
Derivatization of Glutamic Acid:
Glutamic acid is reacted with acetic acid and formaldehyde under controlled conditions to introduce the diacetate functional groups.
This reaction forms glutamic diacetate, a precursor to the chelating agent.
Neutralization:
The intermediate glutamic diacetate is neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form the tetrasodium salt of glutamic diacetate.
This step ensures the final product is in its highly soluble sodium salt form, suitable for liquid formulations.
Dilution to Desired Concentration:
The resulting tetrasodium glutamate diacetate solution is adjusted to a 47% concentration in water.
This concentration provides an optimal balance of chelating efficiency, ease of handling, and compatibility with various formulations.
Purification and Quality Control:
Purification:
The solution is subjected to filtration to remove any insoluble impurities and ensure a clear, high-purity product.
Advanced techniques, such as ion-exchange filtration, may be used to eliminate residual unreacted materials.
Quality Testing:
Stringent quality checks are performed to ensure compliance with specifications.
Parameters such as concentration, pH, metal-binding capacity, and biodegradability are verified.
Environmental Considerations:
The production of GLDA 4NA 47% is designed to minimize environmental impact:
Renewable raw materials reduce reliance on petrochemicals.
