Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of removing residual sorbic acid from a crude mixture containing a sorbate and sorbic acid comprising the steps of contacting a mixture comprising sorbic acid and a sorbate with a macroporous ion exchange resin functionalized with ammonium hydroxide groups at a concentration of at least 1.01 equivalents based on the equivalents of acids in the mixture to reduce the concentration of the sorbic acid in the mixture by at least 50%; then separating the ion exchange resin from the mixture to forma purified disorbate with a reduced concentration of sorbic acid. The method provides an efficient way of purifying and recovering sorbates, which are useful as low VOC coalescents for coatings formulations.
