Crystalline alkali metal salt granulation: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent particle morphology in complexing agents leads to poor solubility and dust hazards. These innovations utilize specific granulation aids to control the solid-state phase and structural integrity of the powder.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Crystalline alkali metal salt granulation?

Uncontrolled particle size distribution

(13)evidences

Complexing agents in salt form often exhibit high hygroscopicity and irregular particle shapes that cause clumping and dust formation. Improving physical structure prevents handling failures during industrial processing.

Solid phase hygroscopic instability

(6)evidences

Aminocarboxylate salts are prone to moisture absorption and clumping during storage. Preventing physical degradation ensures product flowability and chemical shelf-life.
