Abstract

The invention discloses a reaction process for preparing low-acid lactide. According to the process, lactic acid is pre-polymerized and cracked to prepare lactide, the raw material polylactic acid passes through at least two depolymerization reaction zones, the single-pass conversion rate of the depolymerization reaction is controlled to be not higher than 10% in the first depolymerization reaction zone, and a gas-phase product is circulated to an upstream polylactic acid preparation procedure; and the liquid-phase product passes through a subsequent depolymerization reaction zone to obtain acrude lactide product. By adopting the process, the acid content of crude lactide can be remarkably reduced, impurities are reduced, byproducts are reduced, and downstream separation energy consumption and production cost are remarkably reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lactide, in particular to a reaction process for preparing low-acid lactide. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid (PLA), also known as polylactide, is a typical biodegradable polymer material prepared by chemical synthesis from renewable plant resources. At present, the PLA global market is growing rapidly, and the annual demand will increase at a rate of 20,000 to 30,000 tons. The premium can reach 20%-30%, and it is expected that the supply will be in short supply for a long time. The largest application field of PLA is food packaging, accounting for more than 65%, and the second largest application field is textile fiber. The global plastic ban and garbage sorting have brought a huge potential market for degradable plastics, especially disposable plastic products. [0003] At present, the industrial production of PLA generally adopts the lactide ring-opening polymerization method. Lactide is the key i...
