Ammonium Carbonate → Diammonium succinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The influence of the quantity of ammonium carbonate in the salt substitution step was examined. To 80 g calcium succinate monohydrate (Junsei Kagaku Co., Ltd., guaranteed grade), 188 g water was added to form a slurry solution with a 20% by weight succinic acid concentration. To this solution, varying quantities of ammonium carbonate were added. After reacting for 2 hours with stirring, ammonium succinate solutions were obtained by centrifugation to remove precipitates.
