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?
