    Product Profile On Glutaraldehyde

    Uploaded by

    Govindanayagi Pattabiraman
    Glutaraldehyde is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor that is produced industrially via gas-phase oxidation of cyclopentene or a Diels-Alder reaction. It is used as a disinfectant, cross-linking agent, biocide, preservative, and fixative. The global glutaraldehyde market was worth $700 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $845 million by 2025. It is primarily supplied as a 50% solution by companies such as BASF, Dow Chemicals, and Union Carbide.

    GLUTARALDEHYDE

    1. PRODUCT ANALYSIS
    1.1. General details

    Chemical formula : C5H8O2


    Appearance : Originally it is colourless crystals
    The water solution is colourless oily liquid
    Odour : Sharp pungent odour
    CAS No. : 111-30-8
    Alternate name : Pentanediol

    Chemical structure : OHC-CH2-CH2-CH2-CHO

    Molecular Mass : 100.117 g/mol


    Boiling Point : 187-189ºC
    Melting Point : -14 deg C
    Solubility : Miscible in water 51.3 g/ml;
    Soluble in Ethanol, Benzene, and Ether.

    Stability

    The anhydrous form of glutaraldehyde is unstable, and therefore, it is only available commercially as a
    solution. Dilute glutaraldehyde solutions (1–3.5%) are typically used for disinfecting, but they tend to
    polymerize with time, resulting in a solution containing limited aldehyde radicals and consequently
    reduced antibacterial function. Glutaraldehyde solutions must, therefore, be prepared fresh on a regular
    basis.

    Increasing temperature will destabilize the product. Stable under acidic to neutral conditions.
    Stable in light; It oxidizes in the presence of air.

    2. PROCESS OUTLINE AND RAW MATERIAL DETAILS

    2.1. Process outline

    Glutardialdehyde is produced industrially by the following two methods

     Gas-phase oxidation of cyclopentene


     Diels-Alder reaction of Acrolein with methyl vinyl ether.

    Both reactions utilize a multistage extraction with water to recover the glutaraldehyde.

    2.2. Diels-Alder reaction of Acrolein with methyl vinyl ether.

    In the Diels-Alder reaction, the reaction of acrolein and methyl vinyl ether in a 1:1 ratio results in 2-
    methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (MDP, CAS No. 4454-05-1), which undergoes acidic hydrolysis in presence
    of water and acid to yield glutaraldehyde and methanol at temperature 95 to 110 deg C for 2 to 3 hrs.

    The crude hydrolysis product is distilled to produce a methanol overheads stream, a by-product of the
    reaction that is itself suitable for recycling and use in other industrial processes, and a tails product
    containing glutaraldehyde in water.

    Raw material requirements

    Basis: One kg of glutaraldehyde crystals (100% product)

    Raw materials Requirements in kg


    Acrolein 0.5
    Methyl vinyl ether 0.5
    Other miscellaneous products including catalyst, -
    DM water

    2-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran is obtained as a intermediate product which upon acid hydrolysis


    yields Glutaraldehyde solution of various concentrations.
