Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA) is witnessing massive demand with rising applications in the pharmaceutical industry

 

Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA), a sodium salt, is primarily used in the industrial production of herbicides, plastics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics as well as flavor, and other organic chemicals. MCAA is a mixture of organic and inorganic substances including carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorous, chlorine, and fluorine. In its simplest form, monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) is a combination of two carbon atoms linked by a hydrogen atom. This organic compound is found in many natural products such as fruits, vegetables, and many food products like wine. The chemical formula of this alkaline carboxylic compound is C6H4O. It was studied for many years in various research projects but until recently, its clinical use has not yet been established.

Monochloroacetic Acid (MCAA), commonly abbreviated as monochloroacetic acid (OA) is produced from thioglycolate and quinoa. Some of the most common osmosis filters that use this monochloroacetic acid include the AquaSeal Plus Water Purifier, Aquaguard Reverse Osmosis Filters, Culligan Synergy Carbon Filter, and Culligan Supra Low-Efficient Water Purifier. These are among the most popular water filtering systems in the market. There are also other brands that are less known. Here are some of the benefits of these types of systems:

It has been found that when the monochlorous acid reacts with certain naturally occurring chemicals, the resulting compound is called polymeric carbon. It has been found to be effective in removing a number of pollutants from your water supply including the pesticides that are used to control weeds in residential lawns. Studies show that monochloroachloro acetic Acid is capable of removing up to 99% of the total volatile organic compound that is present in surface water. Other types of contaminants that it can effectively remove are THMs, VOCs, lindane, benzene, toluene, and other petroleum compounds. Key players in Germany, Japan, and Mexico are investing significantly in the production of monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) with a major focus on production and storage capabilities.
