Abstract

The invention discloses a method for purifying lactate. The method comprises: dissolving the lactate containing dimer and polymer in a solvent of lower alcohol, adding a catalytic amount of alkali, carrying out the ester exchange reaction at a temperature of between 0 and 80 DEG C, converting the dimer or polymer into lactate products and methyl lactate or ethyl lactate, and adding acid for neutralization or adopting cation resin for ion exchange so as to neutralize the reaction product; and recovering the solvent, and obtaining the finished product by recrystallization or reduced pressure distillation. The method has the advantages that the method can effectively lower hydrolysis of the lactate simultaneously carried out during depolymerization of the dimer or polymer in the purificationprocess, the reaction can be carried out at normal temperature, and the production cost can be effectively lowered, along with simple operation, safety and high efficiency; moreover, the purity of the obtained target product reaches more than 98 percent, so that the method has industrial application values.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for purifying lactic acid esters, in particular to a method for depolymerizing polylactic acid esters produced during the esterification of lactic acid and alcohol. Background technique [0002] The usual preparation method of lactic acid ester is obtained by the esterification reaction of lactic acid and alcohol under the action of a catalyst. During the esterification reaction, it is easy to generate a by-product—a dimer or polymer of lactic acid ester, as follows Shown in formula I, this brings great difficulty to the separation and purification of lactate. There are a small amount of literature reports to provide the degradation method of its dimer or polymer while disclosing the preparation method of lactic acid ester, but most of the methods therein will regenerate lactic acid when the dimer or polymer is degraded. The conversion of ester products into raw materials is detrimental to the production of la...
