  • Patent number: 6860906
    Abstract: Described is a process for preparing concentrated solutions or suspensions of anionic organic compounds which comprises a) acidifying an aqueous solution or suspension of an anionic organic compound containing salts and/or impurities to a pH of 4.5 or less, if the pH is above this value, so that b) the anionic organic compound is water-insoluble and precipitates in the form of the free acid, c) bringing the suspension to a salt content below 2% by weight, based on the total weight of the retentate, by means of ultrafiltration with a membrane having pore diameters of from 0.001 to 0.02 ?m, and d) optionally washing out the salts with water having a pH below 4,5, e) optionally carrying out acid-free washing with water thereafter, and then f) concentrating, so that the amount of anionic organic compound is 5-50% by weight, and g) if desired, bringing the anionic organic compound into solution by adding an appropriate base.
