SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID
Inhalation Cough. Sore throat. Use local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest.
Skin Redness. Burning sensation. Itching. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes Redness. Pain. Wear safety goggles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention.
1.Phosphorus oxychloride is added dropwise to a solution of maleic anhydride in chloroform, while stirring under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is then refluxed for several hours, leading to the formation of MAPC.

2.The MAPC intermediate is then treated with phosphonoacetic acid in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture is stirred at elevated temperatures, typically between 80-100°C, until the PTCA product is formed.

3.The PTCA product is then purified by methods such as recrystallization or chromatography to obtain a high purity product.
Frequently Asked Questions
The stability of 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid?
This product is resistant to acid, alkali and oxidant. It can be miscible with water in any proportion, and the pH of 1% aqueous solution is 1, and it has good thermal stability. It is stable to hydrolysis, no hydrolysis is found in water up to 120°C, and it has good corrosion and scale inhibition performance. Tolerates chlorine gas or chlorine products and ferric ions in water better than other phosphonates. It has good compatibility with commonly used water treatment agents and has a synergistic effect.

The storage condition of this product?
This product needs to be packed in plastic barrels with a net weight of 35kg and lined with polyethylene for storage for more than 2 years. If the temperature is too low to solidify, there will be no adverse effects after thawing or continuing to use. Since this product has a certain corrosive effect on materials, the containers, pumps and pipelines should be made of stainless steel, glass and plastic.

What is 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid(PBTCA) used for?
This product is a good corrosion and scale inhibitor, widely used in anti-scaling treatment of circulating cooling water system and oilfield water injection system.
It is used as a corrosion and scale inhibitor for industrial water treatment. This product has excellent complexing ability with Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mg2+ plasma. Suitable for use within the pH range of 7.0-9.5. It can operate under the conditions of high temperature, high hardness and high alkalinity. It can increase the concentration factor of circulating cooling water to more than 7.
