Abstract

The invention relates to a melt / solid state polycondensation preparation method for polylactic acid, which mainly solves the problems of long reaction time, difficult continuous production or high cost in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps of: 1) performing a dehydration oligomerization reaction of lactic acid at the temperature of between 100 and 160 DEG C under the absolutepressure of between 6,000 and 25,000 Pa and under the action of a catalyst A for 0.5 to 5 hours first, and continuing the ehydration oligomerization reaction at the temperature of between of 120 and 180 DEG C under the absolute pressure of between 200 and 1,500 Pa and under the action of the catalyst A for 0.5 to 5 hours to generate a product I; 2) performing a melt polycondensation reaction of the product I at the reaction temperature of between 150 and 200 DEG C under the absolute pressure of between 30 and 600 Pa and under the action of a catalyst B for 0.5 to 15 hours to generate a polylactic acid prepolymer and lactide serving as a by-product, and refluxing the lactide to a reaction mixture at the reflux temperature of between 70 and 95 DEG C; 3) pelletizing the polylactic acid prepolymer obtained in the step 2), and crystallizing in an inertia airflow at the temperature of between 50 and 130 DEG C for 0.5 to 10 hours; and 4) performing a solid state polycondensation reaction of the polylactic acid prepolymer processed in the step 3) in the inertia airflow at the temperature of between 120 and 170 DEG C for 5 to 40 hours to obtain the polylactic acid. The technical scheme of the invention better solves the problem, and can be used for the industrial production of the polylactic acid.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of polylactic acid, in particular to a method for preparing polylactic acid by melt / solid phase polycondensation. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid is an important bio-based biodegradable polymer material. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility, and can be molded and processed by traditional methods. It has good application prospects in agriculture, packaging materials, daily life, clothing, and biomedical materials. . [0003] Polylactic acid can be synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of lactide, a dimer of lactic acid, and condensation polymerization of lactic acid. The ring-opening polymerization method is easy to produce high molecular weight polylactic acid, and has been industrialized, but the production cost is relatively high. In comparison, the melt / solid phase polycondensation method has attracted attention due to its low cost, but...
