  • Process for the preparation of n- (phosphonomethyl) glycine by oxidizing n-substituted n-(phosphonomethyl) glycine
    Publication number: 20010018536
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved process for the preparation of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (i.e., “glyphosate”), a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine. The process comprises combining an N-substituted N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine reactant with oxygen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst.

  • Process for the preparation of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine by oxidizing N-substituted N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine
    Patent number: 6232494
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved process for the preparation of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (i.e., “glyphosate”), a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine. The process comprises combining an N-substituted N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine reactant with oxygen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst. The N-substituted N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine reactant has formula (V): wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, —PO3R12R131, —SO3R14, —NO2, hydrocarbyl, and substituted hydrocarbyl other than —CO2R15; and R7, R8, R9, R12, R13, R14, and R15 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, and an agronomically acceptable cation.

  • Method and apparatus for the determination of viscosity
    Patent number: 4879897
    Abstract: A method for measuring the viscosity of liquids including homogeneously mixed suspensions at known temperatures is provided. The method concerns rapidly adjusting the temperature of the liquid, stirring the liquid by rotating a stirring arrangement within the liquid at a measured speed, and measuring the power consumed by rotating the stirring arrangement in the liquid. The invention also concerns an arrangement specifically adapted for application of the method. According to both the method and arrangement, a removable vessel for the liquid is provided.
