Publication number: 20090259068Abstract: This invention generally relates to liquid phase oxidation processes for making N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (also known in the agricultural chemical industry as glyphosate) and related compounds. This invention, for example, particularly relates to processes wherein an N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid (NPMIDA) substrate (i.e., N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid, a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid) is continuously oxidized to form an N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine product (i.e., N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, a salt of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, or an ester of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine). This invention also, for example, particularly relates to processes wherein an N-(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid substrate is oxidized to form an N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine product, which, in turn, is crystallized (at least in part) in an adiabatic crystallizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: MONSANTO TECHNOLOGY LLCInventors: Eric Haupfear, Jerald D.

Patent number: 6476256Abstract: A process for the preparation of an oxyacid of phosphorus comprising contacting elemental phosphorus with water in the presence of a catalyst effective to promote oxidation of phosphorus by reaction with water. The use of a noble metal catalyst such as Pd under moderate agitation and low severity conditions is effective for the preparation of P(III) oxyacid in high selectivity. Other suitable catalysts may comprise, for example, other Group VIII metals (particularly other platinum metals); oxides, salts, phosphides, and/or coordination compounds of Group VIII metals; Group IB metals; and/or oxides, salts, phosphides, and/or coordination is compounds of Group IB metals. Various apparatus and process schemes for the preparation of phosphoric and phosphorous acid are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2001Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: Jerald D.

Patent number: 6194604Abstract: A process for the manufacture of phosphorous acid by selective hydrolysis of phosphite esters. A hydrolysis feed mixture comprising phosphite esters and phosphate esters is contacted with liquid water or steam to selectively hydrolyze the phosphite esters to phosphorous acid. The feed mixture may be prepared by oxidation of elemental phosphorous in the presence of an alcohol. In the oxidation and/or a subsequent esterification step, P(III) and P(V) oxyacids produced in the oxidation reaction are esterified, preferably quantitatively. The ester mixture may be washed to remove unesterified phosphoric and hypophosphorous acid, after which the selective hydrolysis is carried out.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: Yinong Ma, Jerald D.
