The market demand for crystalline glyoxylic acid is growing and local companies have the ability to produce high-quality products.

Glyoxylic acid, also known as butyric acid and glycolic acid, refers to organic matter containing carboxyl and aldehyde groups. According to different forms, it can be divided into crystal glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid aqueous solution, etc. Crystalline glyoxylic acid refers to an organic acid that appears as white crystals and contains a pungent odor. It has the characteristics of good hygroscopicity and active chemical properties. It is widely used in many fields such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, pesticides, fine chemicals, coatings, and spices.

The preparation methods of crystalline glyoxylic acid include ozone oxidation method, glyoxal nitric acid oxidation method, oxalic acid electrolytic reduction method, etc. The glyoxal nitric acid oxidation method and the oxalic acid electrolytic reduction method have problems such as easily causing environmental pollution and poor quality of finished products, and are not suitable for large-scale production. The ozone oxidation method refers to using maleic anhydride as the core raw material, adding an aqueous solution, passing in high-concentration ozone gas after hydrolysis and oxidation reactions, and finally producing crystal glyoxylic acid through distillation, cooling and crystallization. This method has With the advantages of simple process, green environmental protection, and good quality of finished products, it has become the mainstream preparation method of crystalline glyoxylic acid.

Crystalline glyoxylic acid is widely used in many fields, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, pesticides, fine chemicals, coatings, spices, etc. In the pharmaceutical field, crystalline glyoxylic acid can be used to prepare anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-tumor drugs, and antiviral drugs; in the food processing field, crystalline glyoxylic acid can be used to make cans, jams, and drinks; in the pesticide field, crystalline glyoxylic acid Can be used to make pesticides, etc. According to the “2023-2027 China Crystal Glyoxylic Acid Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center , benefiting from the accelerated development of downstream industries, my country’s demand for crystalline glyoxylic acid continues to grow, reaching nearly 100,000 tons in 2022.

In the early stages of industry development, due to factors such as high technical barriers, my country’s high-quality crystalline glyoxylic acid was highly dependent on imports, and local companies focused on the production of mid- to low-end products. In recent years, with national policy support and technological progress, my country’s crystalline glyoxylic acid industry has gradually developed in a high-end direction, and the process of domestic substitution in the market has accelerated.

my country’s crystalline glyoxylic acid industry has a high degree of concentration, with leading companies occupying a dominant position in the market. Guolin Technology is the largest crystalline glyoxylic acid supplier in my country. It uses the ozone oxidation maleic anhydride method to prepare crystalline high-quality glyoxylic acid. This method has been successfully selected into the national “Industrial Basic Innovation Development Catalog (2021 Edition)”. The company is currently actively Promote the “annual production of 25,000 tons of crystalline glyoxylic acid” project.

Industry analysts said that crystalline glyoxylic acid has excellent comprehensive properties and has broad application prospects in many fields. In the future, it will be accompanied by the rapid development of downstream industries. Accelerating, the market demand for crystalline glyoxylic acid in my country will become increasingly strong. Compared with overseas developed countries, my country’s crystalline glyoxylic acid industry started late, but it is developing rapidly and local companies already have the strength to produce high-quality products.
