Problems solved by technology

This method can increase the relative molecular weight of polylactic acid, and can obtain polylactic acid with higher molecular weight. The molecular weight can generally be more than 100,000, and the purity of raw materials is not high, and even leftovers and waste materials can be used, but the disadvantage of this method is that Lactide must be purified before it can be polymerized into high molecular weight polylactic acid. The equipment investment is large, the technical requirements are high, continuous production cannot be carried out, and the catalyst residue in the product is high.
[0007] The technical shortcomings of the above two preparation methods are that the production process of polylactic acid is complicated, the process is long, the raw material requirements are high, the equipment investment is large, the technical requirements are high, and continuous production cannot be carried out, so the production cost is high. The cost of polylactic acid obtained is much higher than that of ordinary plastic materials, so it is only used in medical and some high-end packaging industries, and the application in other fields is almost blank, which is an important factor that seriously restricts the promotion and use of polylactic acid

Abstract

The polylactic acid preparing process includes injecting material mixture comprising lactic acid pre-polymer, tin chloride or alkyl compound as catalyst and phosphorous acid or triphenyl phosphoric acid as stabilizer into preheated double screw extruder with length / diameter ratio over 40; and continuous kneading and extruding reaction at four temperature sections with the third and the fourth sections being in 0.005-0006 MPa pressure and connected with a volatile eliminating device and having certain amount of hydrogen as molecular weight regulator injected continuously. The reaction period is 5-30 min. The said process has the advantages of once completion of all the reactions, high molecular weight of the produced polylactic acid and lowered production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method of polylactic acid. Specifically, a twin-screw reaction extruder is used as a reactor, and processes such as polymerization reaction, monomer and by-product extraction, molecular weight control, and product purification are carried out in the reaction extruder. The process is completed at one time, and high molecular weight polylactic acid products are obtained. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid is a kind of high molecular polymer chemically synthesized with microbial fermentation products as monomers. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and has excellent biocompatibility, biodegradable absorption, high strength, and good plasticity. One of the most widely used synthetic degradable polymers in medicine, it can be used as surgical sutures, orthopedic materials, artificial skin and drug slow-release agents in medical and health care, and can be used in agriculture, fishery, forestry, food ind...
