Preparation and use of iminodisuccinic acid salts

Preparation of imino-disuccinic acid alkali metal salts (I) involves: (i) reacting maleic anhydride (MA), alkali metal hydroxide (AMH), ammonia and water, in MA:AMH:NH3:H2O molar ratio of 2:0.1-4:1.1-6:5-30, at 70-170 degrees C and 1-80 bars for 0.1-100 hrs.; (ii) distilling off NH3 and water from t...

Summary:Preparation of imino-disuccinic acid alkali metal salts (I) involves: (i) reacting maleic anhydride (MA), alkali metal hydroxide (AMH), ammonia and water, in MA:AMH:NH3:H2O molar ratio of 2:0.1-4:1.1-6:5-30, at 70-170 degrees C and 1-80 bars for 0.1-100 hrs.; (ii) distilling off NH3 and water from the reaction mixture, with addition of water and 0-4 mol. AMH per 2 mols. MA initially used, at 50-170 degrees C and 0.1-50 bars over 0.1-50 hours, and (iii) adding water in an amount such that the obtained solution has a solids content of 5-60 wt.%.
