  • Patent number: 7759522
    Abstract: A crude phosphate ester product can be purified by first washing it with chelating agent composition (such as a dilute acidic solution) and then, preferably, water, drying the resulting product, and then treating the resulting product with an acid scavenger, as exemplified by an epoxy-containing compound, such as 3,4-epoxy cyclohexyl methyl-3,4-epoxy cyclohexyl carboxylate.
