For this reason, it is advantageous to handle the iminocarboxylic acid salt as an aqueous solution, but no specific study on such handling as an aqueous solution has been made yet, and the iminocarboxylic acid is first examined by the present inventors. It has been found that there are various problems in handling the acid salt as an aqueous solution. One of them is precipitation of iminocarboxylate, and it is generally economical to handle it at the highest concentration and the lowest temperature. However, under such conditions of high concentration and low temperature, the iminocarboxylate crystals are precipitated. However, the precipitation becomes remarkable over time. In some cases, the aqueous solution itself may completely solidify. In particular, the sodium salt of iminocarboxylic acid has poorer solubility in water than other salts, so that the problem of precipitation becomes serious. Another problem is the viscosity of the iminocarboxylic acid salt aqueous solution, and the viscosity of the aqueous solution is 1 even if there is no precipitation of crystals.
If it exceeds 10,000 cps, the handling becomes extremely difficult. Still another problem is that when an aqueous solution of an iminocarboxylic acid salt is heated and concentrated to increase its concentration to a desired concentration, the iminocarboxylic acid salt or the aqueous solution thereof is colored and the commercial value is significantly impaired. That is, the carboxylate is precipitated.

The first requirement of the handling method of the present invention is that the molar ratio of the D-form to the L-form of the aspartic acid skeleton of the iminocarboxylic acid salt (D-form / L-form =) is 1/0 to 0.7 /. 0.3
(D form + L form = 1 mol) or 0/1 to 0.3 / 0.7
It is to be in the range of (D form + L form = 1 mol). In order to bring the D- and L-forms of the aspartic acid skeleton of the iminocarboxylic acid salt into the above range, the charged molar ratio of D-aspartic acid salt and L-aspartic acid salt should be set in advance before the production of the iminocarboxylic acid salt. The amount may be kept within the range, or the iminocarboxylic acid salt prepared separately from D-aspartate and L-aspartate may be mixed in the above molar ratio. When an iminocarboxylic acid salt having a composition in which the D-form and the L-form of the aspartic acid skeleton of the iminocarboxylic acid salt are outside the above ranges is treated as an aqueous solution, even if other handling requirements are satisfied, crystals are formed in a short time. It precipitates and becomes a non-uniform slurry state. In order to handle this as a uniform slurry, not only special mixing operations such as stirring and forced circulation by a pump are required, but also troubles such as clogging during transfer by a pump are caused.

The second requirement of the handling method of the present invention is that the aqueous solution concentration of the iminocarboxylic acid salt is 40 to 70% by weight. When the concentration of the aqueous solution is lower than 40% by weight, the aqueous solution can be handled as a stable aqueous solution, but since it is a dilute aqueous solution, the storage and transportation facilities are large and uneconomical. Also, the concentration of the aqueous solution is 70% by weight.
If it exceeds, crystals will precipitate from the aqueous solution and handling will be difficult. In the above aqueous solution concentration range, the sodium salt of iminocarboxylic acid can be handled as a stable aqueous solution.

The third requirement of the handling method of the present invention is to adjust the pH of the aqueous solution of the iminocarboxylic acid salt to the range of 7-12. When the pH of the iminocarboxylic acid salt aqueous solution is lower than 7, the iminocarboxylic acid salt is precipitated and cannot be handled as a uniform aqueous solution. On the other hand, if it exceeds 12, the coloring of the aqueous solution during storage and the decomposition of the iminocarboxylic acid salt proceed to deteriorate the product quality. When the pH of the iminocarboxylic acid salt aqueous solution is high, an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or an organic acid such as maleic acid, tartaric acid or acetic acid is used, and when the pH is low, sodium hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide is used. Adjust to a range of 7 to 12 using an alkali metal hydroxide.

According to the present invention, by satisfying the above three requirements, the iminocarboxylic acid salt can be treated as a stable and uniform aqueous solution for a long period of time without precipitation of crystals or solidification of the aqueous solution.

The handling temperature of the iminocarboxylic acid salt aqueous solution in the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be handled at any temperature. However, according to the handling method of the present invention, the action and effect are remarkably exhibited particularly under severe temperature conditions such as low temperature or high temperature in the range of -10 to 10 ° C or 30 to 70 ° C. Therefore, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is the above-mentioned aqueous iminocarboxylic acid salt solution -1.
It is handled at a temperature in the range of 0 to 10 ° C or 30 to 70 ° C. According to the handling method of the present invention, 10 ° C
It is easy to handle even at the following low temperatures without precipitation of crystals or solidification of the aqueous solution of the high-concentration iminocarboxylic acid salt as described above, and decomposition of the iminocarboxylic acid salt during long-term storage even at a high temperature of 30 ° C. or higher. It is not colored and easy to handle. If the handling temperature is lower than -10 ° C, the fluidity of the aqueous solution may be extremely reduced, and it may be difficult to transfer or transport the solution. Further, if the temperature exceeds 70 ° C., the iminocarboxylic acid salt itself is decomposed, which may cause a decrease in the purity of the product.

The iminocarboxylic acid salt aqueous solution is obtained by reacting an aspartic acid salt with an epoxysuccinic acid salt or a maleic acid salt in an aqueous medium as described above, but prevents precipitation of crystals during the reaction. Therefore, the reaction may be carried out using a starting material having a concentration such that the concentration of the iminocarboxylic acid salt in the reaction solution after completion of the reaction, that is, the aqueous solution of the produced iminocarboxylic acid salt is lower than 40% by weight. In this case, it is necessary to heat and concentrate the aqueous iminocarboxylic acid salt to obtain an aqueous solution having an iminocarboxylic acid salt concentration of 40 to 70% by weight.
It is desirable to operate at a temperature in the range of 0 ° C. and a pH in the range of 7-12. At a temperature of higher than 80 ° C, a part of the iminocarboxylic acid salt is decomposed and colored, and the product value thereof is significantly impaired. Further, concentration at a temperature lower than 30 ° C. is industrially undesirable because it requires a high degree of vacuum. Further, if the pH is lower than 7, the iminocarboxylic acid salt is precipitated, and if the pH is higher than 12, the aqueous solution of the iminocarboxylic acid is colored, which is not preferable.
