The present invention relates to a simple, economical, and efficient
cyclic process for producing rhombic dodecahedron shaped glycine
enriched, free flowing common salt from brine, said process comprising
steps of adding glycine of concentration ranging between 10 to 25% to the
saturated brine, evaporating the saturated brine containing glycine to
obtain crystals having high content of glycine, with mother liquor,
washing the crystals with saturated brine to obtain rhombic dodecahedron
shaped glycine enriched common salt having glycine content ranging
between 0.5 to 1.0% and a washed brine, combining the mother liquor and
the washed brine to obtain resulting brine, subjecting the resultant
brine to solar evaporation, and repeating the steps of (iii) to (v) to
obtain rhombic dodecahedron shaped glycine enriched common salt from
brine with glycine concentration ranging between 0.5 to 1.0%.
