This study analyzes Glycolic Acid Production by Hydrolysis of Monochloroacetic Acid with Sodium Hydroxide, covering manufacturing, process flow, operating expenses, and financial considerations.
Last Updated: January, 2025
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of glycolic acid production by the hydrolysis of monochloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide. The production is initiated with the hydrolysis of monochloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide. The chemical reaction between the two compounds is carried out at a controlled temperature that ranges between 90-130 °C. The reaction results in the formation of a mixture containing glycolic acid and sodium chloride. The salt formed is processed and removed by evaporation concentration, followed by acid extraction in the presence of acetone, which results in the production of glycolic acid as the end product.
