To know how to satisfy the requirements of our productive allies at ICA, we offer the amine recovery service, complying with the specifications or the required customer needs, respecting the current environmental regulations.
Since 2009, in ICA we have recovered tertiary amines by neutralization and distillation processes that are made from acid solutions of amine sulfate, which are generated mainly in the automotive and foundry industries.
We collected the waste generated as amine sulphate from our customers, we processed and recovered the amines with a quality greater than 99.2% and with humidity less than 0.2%; once the amines are recovered, they are sent to our clients.
Our production team allows us to obtain amines in large volumes, having a current recovery capacity of more than 150 tons per month.
¿What are the amines?
They are organic chemical compounds derived from ammonia, resulting from the substitution of the hydrogen of the molecule by the alkyl radicals.
According to the number of hydrogen atoms in the ammonia that are substituted: one, two or three, the amines are named as primary, secondary or tertiary, respectively.
Four amines obtained by ICA
Currently at ICA we are recovering four different types of amines from acid solutions of amine sulfate:
1.- Dimethylethylamine
(No. CAS 598-56-1)
N,N-Dimethylethylamine,is used as a beginner in the foundry industry and in the pharmaceutical industry.
2.- Dimethylpropylamine
(No. CAS 926-63-6)
N,N-Dimethylpropylamine is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, for polymer formulation, resin curing and in the foundry industry.
3.- Dimethylisopropylamine
(No. CAS 996-35-0)
N,N-Dimethylisopropylamine, is used especially as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the preparation of resins in the foundry industry.
4.- Triethylamine
(No. CAS 121-44-87)
N,N-Diethylethanamine is used in the foundry, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries.
