Raw Material for Glyoxylic Acid Production
According to the Glyoxylic Acid production plant project report, the major raw materials for Glyoxylic Acid production include Maleic Acid-Ozone.
Production Process of Glyoxylic Acid
The extensive Glyoxylic Acid production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from Maleic Acid: This method of production involves the use of maleic acid for the synthesis of glyoxylic acid. The process is initiated by dissolving maleic acid in water, followed by its reaction with a slightly excess quantity of ozone at the temperature of 15°Cto 25°C, which results in the formation of glyoxylic acid as the final product. Glyoxylic acid obtained as the final product undergoes crystallization to obtain the compound in solid form.
Glyoxylic Acid (C2H2O3) is a commercial chemical compound that primarily consists of two carbon, two hydrogen, and three oxygen atoms. The carboxylic acid group attached to the base atom gives the compound its acidic nature. It is a metabolite chemical naturally found in bacteria, namely E. coli. It appears as a colorless fluid with an unpleasant odor. Its melting and boiling points measure around 98°C and 111°C, respectively. Additionally, the pH of this compound in aqueous solution is around 2.5, and the density is around 1.27g/cm³. The compound is completely soluble in water and other chemical solvents such as benzene, ethanol, and ethyl ether. It contains acetic acid attached to the base molecule and is highly corrosive. With a molecular weight of approximately 75 g/mol, it is a hygroscopic compound.
