Uses and synthesis of Itaconic acid powder

Itaconic acid powder is also known as methylenedioxybutanedioic acid, methylenedioxybutanedioic acid, Itaconic acid CAS 97-65-4 is an unsaturated acid containing a conjugated double bond and two carboxyl groups, and is rated as one of the top 12 value-added chemicals from biomass. It is a white crystal or powder at room temperature. Itaconic acid Raw Materials is chemically active and can undergo various addition, esterification and polymerisation reactions.

Applications / Functions of Itaconic acid powder

• Itaconic acid powder is used as copolymer monomer of polyacrylonitrile fibre, and can also be used in the preparation of plasticizers, lubricant additives, etc.
• Important monomer for the preparation of synthetic fibres, synthetic resins and plastics, ion exchange resins; Itaconic acid CAS 97-65-4 can also be used as carpet lining agent, paper coating agent, binder, paint dispersing latex and so on.

Physicochemical Property of Itaconic acid powder

Colourless crystal. Soluble in water, ethanol and acetone, slightly soluble in chloroform, benzene and ether.

Production methodprocess of Itaconic acid powder

1. Fermentation method with carbohydrates (glucose, starch, etc.) plus the appropriate amount of nitrogen and inorganic salts, by the biochemical action of Aspergillus terreus to produce Itaconic acid Raw Materials  
2. The new chemical synthesis method uses maleic anhydride as the main raw material, through esterification, addition, methylation and hydrolysis four-step reaction to synthesise Itaconic acid powder.
