Agricultural pesticide field:

Core synthetic raw material for glyphosate (accounting for over 90%)


PMIDA is the direct precursor of glyphosate, the world's most widely used broad-spectrum herbicide. PMIDA can be converted into glyphosate through oxidation reactions (e.g., oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or oxygen under the action of a catalyst), and this process is a key step in the industrial production of glyphosate.

 

Glyphosate is widely used for weed control in genetically modified crops such as soybeans, corn, and cotton, as well as in scenarios like non-cultivated land and orchards. Therefore, the demand for PMIDA is directly linked to the global agricultural planting area and the glyphosate market.

Main Production Methods:

 

IDA Method (Iminodiacetic Acid Method):


Using iminodiacetic acid (IDA) as the raw material, it reacts with formaldehyde and phosphorous acid under the action of an acidic catalyst (such as hydrochloric acid) to generate a PMIDA suspension, which is then separated and dried to obtain the finished product.

 

Technical advantages: Mature technology, high product purity (≥98%), and a yield of over 94.5%.

 

Glycine Method:


Using glycine as the raw material, it reacts with phosphorous acid and formaldehyde to generate intermediates, which are then acidified and separated to produce PMIDA.

 

Characteristics: Lower raw material costs, but more process steps and greater pressure in wastewater treatment.
