In addition to being a thickening agent or chemical intermediary in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and carboxymethyl starch, chloroacetic acid is used to make or generate industrial chemicals. A significant precursor to the creation of glyphosate is glycine, which is also produced together with global chloroacetic acid market.
This invention pertains to a reactive distillation process that uses acetic acid and chlorine in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce monochloroacetic acid. The process, together with the necessary reactive distillation equipment, is simpler than using a traditional reactor and yields monochloroacetic acid with a small amount of over-chlorinated chemicals.
