Stable aqueous acrylamide solution
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a process for stabilizing an aqueous acrylamide solution. The present invention also provides a stable aqueous acrylamide solution containing acetaldehyde at a weight ratio relative to acrylamide of 1.5 mg/Kg to 4 mg/Kg.
1. An aqueous acrylamide solution, which contains acetaldehyde to acrylamide at a concentration of 1.5 mg acetaldehyde/Kg acrylamide to 4 mg acetaldehyde/Kg acrylamide.
2. The aqueous acrylamide solution according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylamide concentration is 25% to 60% by weight aqueous solution.
3. The aqueous acrylamide solution according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the acrylamide is produced by hydration of acrylonitrile in the presence of a biocatalyst.
4. A process for stabilizing an aqueous acrylamide solution, which comprises the step of adjusting the concentration of acetaldehyde to 1.5 mg acetaldehyde/Kg acrylamide to 4 mg acetaldehyde/Kg acrylamide.
