However, from the viewpoint of industrial waste, there is a problem that a large amount of waste water containing a high concentration of ammonium salt such as ammonium sulfate is discharged. The removal of ammonium ions from the aqueous solution is very difficult in terms of wastewater treatment, and problems such as water pollution have arisen in the inner bays such as lakes and the Seto Inland Sea due to an increase in the concentration of nitrogen containing ammonium ions.

It was 9 g. Crystallization of L-aspartic acid was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain a weight of 222.0 g and a purity of 99.4%.
L-aspartic acid was obtained. When the ammonia concentration in the filtrate was measured, it was about 5.7 g / L as NH 3 .

Comparative Example 1 The same operation as in Example 1 was carried out except that 25% ammonia water was added to the reaction substrate without adding sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to 8.3. The amount of L-aspartic acid in the reaction solution after the reaction was 227.3 g. This reaction liquid was treated in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain crystals and a furnace liquid. When the crystals were dried and examined for weight and purity,
L-Aspartic acid having a weight of 223.3 g and a purity of 99.6% was obtained. When the concentration of ammonia in the filtrate was measured,
The amount of NH 3 was about 35.2 g / L.
