The invention discloses a method for preparing L-(+)-
lactic acid, relates to an
enzyme method for synthesizing the
lactic acid, and is a technology for producing the L-(+)-
lactic acid by catalyzing asymmetric hydrolytic
ethyl lactate in the
enzyme method in an organic phase. The method has the steps that the
ethyl lactate and water are taken to be added into a reactor, and then
organic solvent and
lipase catalyst are added, wherein, the materials has the compounding ratio that the
mass ratio of the
ethyl lactate and the water is 3 to 15:1, the dosage of the
lipase catalyst is 0.4 to 1 percent of the
mass of the ethyl lactate, and the volume of the water is 1 to 10 percent of the volume of the
organic solvent. After being sealed, the reactor is put into a
thermostat water bath
shaker, the number of revolution of the
shaker is 220 to 50 revolution / minute, the
reaction temperature is 30 to 70 DEG C, the reaction time is 3 to 28 hours, and after the reaction is finished, the product, namely, the L-(+)-lactic acid can be obtained by distilling the molecules of the
resultant. The invention has simple method for preparing the L-(+)-lactic acid, the reaction condition is mild and the environmental
pollution is small; the stereo selectivity of the obtained product is high, the ee value of the L-(+)-lactic acid is 50 to 94 percent, and the
yield rate thereof is 10 to 40 percent.
