Workup

  1. 1
    ConcentrationThe resulting potassium glyphosate concentrate (1000 g)

Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 is followed using 486.19 g of glyphosate acid, 323.23 g of deionized water, and 190.58 g of KOH pellets. The resulting potassium glyphosate concentrate (1000 g) has 44.0% acid equivalents. The final pH of the concentrate, measured as a 10% solution in deionized water, is 4.5.
