A process for the preparation of aluminium diacetate monobasic

Abstract

The present invention provides a new process for the preparation of Aluminium diacetate monobasic. The process of the invention comprises the step of: (a) agitating a reaction mixture comprising an aqueous saturated solution of Aluminium Sulphate and Sodium carbonate to form Aluminium Carbonate precipitates and Sodium sulphate in the reaction mixture; and (b) treating freshly filtered Aluminium carbonate precipitates with aqueous acetic acid solution in an amount sufficient to react to obtain a resulting product comprising of Aluminium diacetate monobasic.
