Title:
POLYASPARTIC ACID OR SALT THEREOF AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1996/019524
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Polyaspartic acid or a salt thereof, having a calcium ion chelating capacity of 4.3 (Ca++g/100g polymer) or above; a process for producing the acid or salt by hydrolyzing polysuccinimide obtained by the polycondensation of a monomer selected from the group consisting of reaction products formed between maleic acid and ammonia, aspartic acid, and maleamic acid in the presence of a solvent and an acid catalyst; a polysuccinimide as the precursor therefor; and another process for producing the acid or salt by hydrolyzing polysuccinimide obtained by the polycondensation of a monomer selected from the group consisting of reaction products formed between maleic acid and ammonia, aspartic acid, and maleamic acid in the presence of a mixture of at least two solvents including at least an aprotic polar solvent and an acid catalyst. The obtained polyaspartic acid or salt thereof is useful as a chelating agent, flocculant, scale inhibitor, detergent builder, dispersant, humectant, fertilizer additive, raw material for biodegradable polymer, and so forth.
