example 1

[0009] Raw material composition: lactic acid (85%), absolute ethanol

[0010] Lactic acid: ethanol (molar ratio) = 1:9, 0.5 g of the mixed reactants in total, Humicola tomentosa lipase was used as the catalyst, the dosage was 50 mg, and 5 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added as a solvent.

[0011] The above raw materials were sequentially added into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a stopper, and the constant temperature water bath oscillator was controlled at a temperature of 70° C. and a rotation speed of 200 rpm, and reacted for 24 hours. The resulting product was analyzed by gas chromatography, and the yield of ethyl lactate was 73.9%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a ethyl lactate synthesis enzyme catalysis method in solvent phase and belongs to ethyl lactate preparation technology using lactic acid and ethanol, characterizing in the following steps: using chloroform, tert-butanol or tetrahydrofuran as sovent, or adding in the said solvent of lactic acid and ethanol in ratio of (1:5)-(1:10) and lipase according to 10-30 g enzyme catalysis per mol lactic acid, mixing sufficiently, constant temperature water bath in 60-70 DEG C while lactic acid concentration is 0.3-0.6mol/L, concussion table revolution being controlled 200-250revolution/min, reacting 24-48 hours, obtaining crude products containing ethyl lactate. Advantage of the invention compared with existing ethyl lactate preparation method lies in: temperate reaction condition, low energy consumption, easy operation of separating catalyst and products, apparatus not easy corroding, no pollution, high product quality and yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for enzymatically synthesizing ethyl lactate in a solvent phase, which belongs to the technology of preparing ethyl lactate with lactic acid and ethanol. technical background [0002] At present, most manufacturers of ethyl lactate adopt the traditional process of concentrated sulfuric acid catalysis and benzene dehydration and esterification. The process is briefly described as follows: lactic acid (content 80%) and ethanol (92-93%) are mixed according to a certain proportion, concentrated sulfuric acid is added as a catalyst, and a large amount of benzene is added as a dehydrating agent. Then in the esterification tank (tower) heating reflux esterification, benzene, ethanol and water form a ternary azeotrope to remove the water contained in the raw material and the water produced in the esterification process, so as to increase the formation of lactic acid Ester rate. After the ester...
