Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing lactide through a high-gravity technology. The method comprises the following steps: injecting lactic acid aqueous solution into a high-gravity reactor, and removing free water under carrier gas desorption or a vacuum condition; adding catalyst into anhydrous lactic acid of which the free water is removed, generating polymerization reaction at a certain temperature after even mixing, then, injecting into the high-gravity reactor, further removing reaction water under the carrier gas desorption or the vacuum condition to obtain oligolactic acid; raising the temperature of the reaction liquid to a depolymerization temperature, injecting the reaction liquid into the high-gravity reactor, steaming the lactide from the reaction liquid under the vacuum condition, and cooling to obtain lactide crystal. In the process, a free water removal temperature is 60-100 DEG C, a reaction water removal temperature is 100-140 DEG C, and lactide steaming temperature is 160-220 DEG C. Compared with a traditional vacuum reaction process, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high water removal efficiency, simple production process, high lactide yield and easiness in industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and in particular relates to a method for preparing lactide through a high-gravity reaction technology. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a green polymer material with a wide range of uses, and it is also one of the best choices to solve "white pollution". It has good mechanical strength, chemical stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioabsorbability; at the same time, it is non-toxic and non-polluting, and its degradation products can participate in the metabolism of the human body, and can be widely used in the medical industry, Agriculture, food packaging, daily necessities and other fields. At present, the synthesis methods of PLA mainly include one-step method and two-step method: one-step method uses lactic acid, lactate and its derivatives as raw materials to directly synthesize PLA, but the synthesized PLA has low molecular weight and poor strength, and...
