Problems solved by technology

[0003] In 2015, the world's lactic acid production was about 200,000 to 250,000 tons, about 70% of which were produced by fermentation. Through the screening and improvement of microbial strains, lactic acid can be produced by fermentation with agricultural and sideline products as raw materials, and then added Calcium hydroxide is neutralized, filtered, and recrystallized to obtain pure calcium lactate, and sulfuric acid is acidified to obtain chemically pure lactic acid; but this method is more complicated and inefficient
However, there are no reports and patents on the separation of 1,2-propanediol selective catalytic oxidation products and the separation of formic acid, acetic acid and lactic acid

Abstract

The invention provides a product separation process for preparing lactic acid by means of selective catalytic oxidation of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO). A separation object is a 1,2-PDO oxidized lactic acid product mixture solution which contains a NaOH aqueous solution, unreacted 1,2-PDO, lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid and carbonate. The separation process includes the following steps of acidification, extraction, esterification, distillation under reduced pressure and hydrolysis. According to the separation process, 1,2-PDO oxidation mixtures are completely separated to obtain high-purity lactic acid and lactic anhydride, the yield is high, by adopting a ester extracting agent, the separation energy consumption and the equipment input cost are reduced, separated and added substancescan be recycled and reutilized, and the separation process completely causes no waste water discharge, saves the cost and is efficient and environmentally friendly.
