  • Solution polymerizing aspartic acid and monomer to form succinimide copolymer
    Patent number: 6399715
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of a succinimide copolymer by the catalytic co-polymerization of aspartic acid with a selected polyfunctional monomer in the presence of a cyclic carbonate solvent. Succinimide copolymers of relatively high weight average molecular weight and high purity can be produced in relatively high yields while employing a relatively low catalyst loading.

  • Production of polysuccinimide and derivatives thereof in a sulfur-containing solvent
    Patent number: 6005069
    Abstract: Polysuccinimide of varying molecular weight has been prepared in a solvent system by heat polymerization of aspartic acid. The solvent system includes a sulfur oxygen acid and a sulfur oxygen acid salt. In a preferred embodiment, aspartic acid is polymerized in a liquid solvent reaction mixture at a temperature in the range of about 110.degree. C. to about 320.degree. C.

  • Production of D,L-aspartic acid
    Patent number: 5907057
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for the production of D,L-aspartic acid. The method comprises reacting an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, such as, maleic acid, fumaric acid, maleic anhydride, or mixtures thereof, with excess aqueous ammonia at an elevated temperature and pressure for a time sufficient to produce diammonium D,L-aspartate. The produced diammonium D,L-aspartate is then neutralized to D,L-aspartic acid. Excess unreacted ammonia and various by-products may be recycled and re-used in the method, thereby minimizing waste and reducing cost. The produced D,L-aspartic acid may be subsequently used to make polyaspartic acid.
