Workup

  1. 1
    ConcentrationThe resulting potassium glyphosate concentrate (1068.10 g)

Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 is followed using 519.30 g of glyphosate acid, 324.20 g of deionized water, and 224.60 g KOH pellets. The resulting potassium glyphosate concentrate (1068.10 g) has 44.0% acid equivalents. The final pH of the concentrate, measured as a 10% solution in deionized water, is 4.8.
