A two-step continuous crystallization is said to result in increased productivity per unit volume under conditions that are favorable in terms of energy consumption. In the first step, a crystalline suspension (3 to 10 % crystalline material) is produced in a supersaturated gluconic acid solution held at 65 to 75 °C. The second step involves controlled cooling to 40 to 45 °C, followed by a period of crystal maturation at constant temperature. A portion of the resulting crystalline suspension is then recycled to the first step. ... The 1, 5-lactone may also be obtained from an aqueous gluconic acid solution by dehydration involving azeotropic distillation with alcohols, followed by crystallization from the alcohol-containing residue. Crystallization above 70 °C leads to the 1, 4-lactone., U.S. Production: 2023: 3, 750, 236 lb, 2022: 4, 124, 048 lb, 2021: 4, 439, 127 lb, 2020: 3, 657, 983 lb, This chemical is listed as a High Production Volume (HPV) (65FR81686).
