<p>Preparation of an aqueous solution of o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and-glutaraldehyde (GA) comprises converting an acetal of OPA in a 10-60% aqueous GA solution to OPA by eliminating the corresponding alcohol at room temperature to 100 degrees C and removing the alcohol. Preferably the acetal is a tetraalkyl-acetal or a dialkoxyphthalan with 1-4C atoms in each alkoxy group. A 30-55 wt.% aqueous GA solution is used. The acetal is added in an amount giving an OPA content of 1-30, especially 1-10 wt.% in the aqueous GA solution. Reaction is carried out at normal pressure to 300 mbar, especially normal pressure to 200 mbar. During removal of the alcohol by distillation, water is added to maintain a constant GA concentration.</p> |
