==TWO-COMPARTMENT BIPOLAR MEMBRANE ELECTRODIALYSIS OF SALTS OF AMINO ACIDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240158423 titled 'TWO-COMPARTMENT BIPOLAR MEMBRANE ELECTRODIALYSIS OF SALTS OF AMINO ACIDS

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosure relates to an improved electrodialysis method for preparing an amino acid (e.g., iminodiacetic acid) from a salt of the amino acid (e.g., disodium iminodiacetic acid) utilizing a two-compartment bipolar membrane electrodialysis process.

* The process involves recirculating at least a portion of the salt product stream comprising the amino acid and one or more salt thereof to the two-compartment bipolar membrane.
* At least a portion of the recirculation stream is removed and phosphonomethylating the amino acid therein.
* The process also includes recovering a base product stream and utilizing it for preparing the salt of the amino acid.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of amino acids and their derivatives.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently converting salts of amino acids into the desired amino acid product.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in amino acid production, reduced waste generation, and potential cost savings.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the production of amino acid-based pharmaceuticals.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional chemical synthesis methods for producing amino acids from their salts.

== Unanswered Questions ==
1. What specific types of amino acids can be produced using this electrodialysis method?
2. Are there any limitations or challenges associated with scaling up this process for industrial production?
