Process Description:
Our company uses advanced proprietary process: microbial catalysis for our production. The process described as below: by microbial fermentation to produce the microbe which contains specific nitrilase, And at normal temperature and pressure using this specific nitrilase to catalyse glycolonitrile for getting Glycolic Acid. Comparing with chemical method, This process has the advantages of specificity of substrate’s selectivity, high purity, mild reaction conditions, simple purification of product, less demanding in equipment, etc.
