A process for forming a descaling composition has the steps of macerating a bone meal with a dimethylamine solution, digesting the macerated bone meal with hydrochloric acid, neutralizing the digested bone meal with calcium oxide, treating the neutralized bone meal with sulfuric acid, and applying a refluxing treatment with dimethylamine and hydrazine hydrate. The process further includes removing the macerated bone meal solids from the dimethylamine solution and transferring the removed solids to an extraction tower prior to the step of digesting. The hydrochloric acid is circulated through the macerated bone meal. The treated bone meal and the sulfuric acid is filtered so as to produce a liquid phase and a solids phase. The liquid phase contains a phosphate amine. The dimethylamine and hydrazine hydrate are added to the liquid phase.

The present invention relates to novel sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid compounds, and methods for making and using them. The sulfoperoxycarboxylic compounds of the invention are storage stable, water soluble and have low to no odor. Further, the compounds of the present invention can be formed from non-petroleum based renewable materials. The compounds of the present invention can be used as antimicrobials, and bleaching agents. The compounds of the present invention are also suitable for use as coupling agents.
