The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of high-end high-purity wet electronic chemicals, and particularly relates to a preparation method and
system of electronic-grade
ethyl lactate. According to the method, food-grade
ethyl lactate is taken as a
raw material,
ethyl pyruvate which is difficult to separate is reduced into
ethyl lactate through reduction reaction, ethyl lactate homologues (
methyl lactate, propyl lactate and
butyl lactate) and light and heavy component impurities in the ethyl lactate are removed through
vacuum distillation, and finally anions and cations in the ethyl lactate are removed through resin adsorption, so that the ethyl lactate is obtained. The content of the obtained ethyl lactate is higher than 99.99%, the anion content is smaller than or equal to 10 ppb, the
metal ion content is smaller than or equal to 1 ppb, the acidity is smaller than or equal to 80 ppm, the
moisture content is smaller than or equal to 100 ppm, and the requirements of electronic-grade ethyl lactate are met. The method can effectively remove
ethyl pyruvate and ethyl lactate homologues which are difficult to remove in ethyl lactate, and has the advantages of low cost, low
energy consumption, high production efficiency,
environmental protection and the like.
