What is Poly l Lactic Acid?

Poly l Lactic Acid is a vital natural acid, the 2nd organic acid 2nd just to citric acid in manufacturing and consumption. There is an uneven carbon atom in the molecular structure, developing two optical isomers d-body, l-body and racemate dl-body, an overall of 3 an optical isomer. In 1780, Scheele got this product in yogurt, hence the name lactic acid. There are dextro- as well as racemates in human and also animal meat cells, while levo-isomers are normal metabolites in animals. It is also normally found in poppy, apple, tomato juice and also other fruits. Commercially offered products are racemates despite whether they are acquired by fermentation or synthesis. Because of the existence of hydroxyl as well as carboxyl groups in the particle, this product has the features of these two functional teams, as well as can create carboxylate with acid anhydride, type lactate with alcohol, and kind salt with salt, calcium, ferrous ions and various other ions; Hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, consequently, can go through self-esterification to produce direct polyesters and also even cyclic substances, namely cyclic dimer lactide [2] Under sluggish oxidation, this product can create pyruvic acid, and when heated to above 250 ℃, it will break down and decay, produce acetaldehyde, as well as release co2 and water. Responds with ammonia or amines to produce Poly l Lactic Acid amides. In addition to the self-esterification of the hydroxyl as well as carboxyl teams of this product, the hydroxyl and carboxyl teams can likewise participate in the response at the same time, such as responding with aldehydes or ketones to create cyclic acetals.

Preparation of Poly l Lactic Acid

Poly l Lactic Acid can be produced by chemical or microbial fermentation. The chemical method uses petroleum-based chemicals as raw materials for synthesis, so it is affected by crude oil supply and price fluctuations (the crude oil price range from 2008 to 2014 is 40 to 145 US dollars / barrel). Another disadvantage of chemical methods is that usually only racemic DL-Poly l Lactic Acid can be synthesized, and its application in food and beverages is limited due to the metabolism of D-lactic acid in the human body. Polylactic acid requires lactic acid monomers with extremely high chemical purity and high optical purity. Usually, the content of L-lactic acid must be greater than 96% to 99% (that is, D-lactic acid is less than 1% to 4%). Therefore, chemically racemic lactic acid is required. It does not meet the requirements of general polylactic acid materials, and can only be used in some chemical fields that do not require optical purity, such as metal plating, detergents, etc., so the market is very small. At present, the only manufacturer of chemically synthesizing lactic acid is Japan’s Musashino. Most of the other manufacturers use microorganisms to anaerobic fermentation of carbohydrates (such as sucrose or starch sugar) to produce acid. One molecule of glucose can be converted into two molecules of lactic acid through glycolysis, and the theoretical conversion rate is 100%, but the actual fermentation yield can only reach about 90%. The difference in the production conditions of D-lactic acid or L-lactic acid is mainly in the bacterial species and fermentation conditions. There is not much difference between the recovery and purification process, but it is necessary to avoid extreme conditions (such as high temperature in the purification process) for D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid. Under the interconversion racemic. During anaerobic fermentation, the pH of the fermentation broth

The pH value will decrease with the formation of lactic acid. Calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate must be added to neutralize the lactic acid and maintain optimal pH fermentation conditions. After fermentation, the bacteria and impurities are separated by filtration and centrifugation, which can be used as feed additives. After the fermentation broth is cooled, calcium hydroxide and lactic acid are neutralized to form calcium lactate precipitation, which must be dissolved with sulfuric acid to extract lactic acid. This process will generate calcium sulfate precipitation by-products. After filtration and separation, the generated solid waste can be used as gypsum. Construction sector. The crude lactic acid liquid extracted by this process still contains a lot of soluble proteins, sugars, salts, miscellaneous acids, etc., which must be purified and removed. Food-grade Poly l Lactic Acid allows a small amount of soluble impurities, which can be purified by resin adsorption, decolorized by activated carbon, membrane separation or concentrated by evaporation, so that the concentration of lactic acid can reach 80% to 88% of the general commercial level (including 12% to 20% of water). Such as concentrated Poly l Lactic Acid to 92% to 93%, it is more suitable for polymerization application, but its viscosity increases, and it will exist in the form of dimer or trimer at room temperature or low temperature.

Heat-resistant or polymerized lactic acid requires high chemical purity, so the soluble impurities in crude Poly l Lactic Acid must be completely removed by esterification or molecular distillation. The esterification distillation method reacts methanol and lactic acid to form a relatively volatile methyl lactate, and then purifies by distillation. The obtained methyl lactate is hydrolyzed into lactic acid and methanol, and then the methanol is separated by distillation to obtain Poly l Lactic Acid. The energy consumption of molecular distillation method is relatively large, and it can be concentrated by vacuum evaporation or nanofiltration before distillation, and the residual dark waste liquid of distillation can be used as a feed additive. To obtain lactic acid with an optical purity greater than 99.9%, the optical purity can be further improved by crystallization. The purified lactic acid can be neutralized by adding alkali to make a salt solution such as sodium lactate or calcium lactate; or by evaporation, spray drying, crystallization, granulation, drying, to form solid lactate; or by adding methanol or ethanol, etc., esterification to generate Lactate. After dehydration and purification of Poly l Lactic Acid, anhydrous lactide can be generated for polymerization into polylactic acid, or other copolymers. Industrial-grade polylactic acid must use lactic acid with high optical purity to improve crystallinity, heat resistance and physical and mechanical strength.

Poly l Lactic Acid Production Method

There are two types of industrial production of Poly l Lactic Acid: fermentation method and synthetic method, each accounting for about 60%. 1 The fermentation method uses rice or dry potato flour as raw materials, and is gelatinized at 120 ° C through steam. The gelatinized liquid is saccharified under the action of saccharifying enzyme at 51～53℃. Poly l Lactic Acid can be obtained by fermentation of glucose. (1) The product of lactobacillus fermentation by lactobacillus is generally DL-lactic acid. The saccharified liquid is heated to 90~95℃ for 1~2h sterilization with steam, cooled to 50℃, and then inoculated with Lactobacillus for fermentation. The fermentation temperature is controlled at 48~50℃; ventilation and stirring; the pH value is controlled at 5.5~6.0, calcium carbonate is added to the medium, and calcium carbonate is also added in batches during the fermentation process to adjust the pH value>5.0. The fermentation cycle is 3 to 4 days. (2) Rhizopus fermented Rhizopus is also Poly l Lactic Acid producing bacteria. Although its theoretical sugar-acid conversion rate is low (75%), it is easy to obtain high-purity L-Poly l Lactic Acid. (3) Extraction of Poly l Lactic Acid from fermented Poly l Lactic Acid is not easy to crystallize, and the calcium salt method is generally used for extraction in China. That is, after the fermentation is completed, the fermentation broth is neutralized with calcium hydroxide to a pH value of 11-12, and press-filtered while hot (>80°C), the filtrate is added with a magnesium chloride precipitant, and the supernatant is concentrated to a relative density of 1.098-1.115. Then stand for crystallization and filter to obtain loose calcium lactate crystals. Calcium lactate was melted with steam, acidified with sulfuric acid, decolorized with activated carbon, and vacuum filtered to obtain a Poly l Lactic Acid solution containing about 10% after standing for 6 hours. Concentrate once to a relative density of 1.098, use ion exchange resin to remove calcium and magnesium ions, and then concentrate twice, decolorize and filter to obtain the finished product of lactic acid. 2 Synthetic methods Chemical synthesis includes acetaldehyde method and acrylonitrile method, and the obtained Poly l Lactic Acid is DL. Poly l Lactic Acid. (1) The acetaldehyde method takes acetaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid as raw materials to react to generate lactonitrile, which is hydrolyzed to obtain crude lactic acid, and the crude Poly l Lactic Acid is then hydrolyzed to obtain lactic acid through ethanol esterification: acetaldehyde and cold hydrocyanic acid are continuously fed into the reaction Lactonitrile is generated by the device, which is then pumped into the hydrolysis kettle, and water and sulfuric acid are added to catalyze hydrolysis to obtain lactic acid; after esterification with ethanol, ethyl lactate is obtained by rectifying distillate; finally, it is sent to the concentration tank for heating and decomposing to obtain refined lactic acid. (2) Acrylonitrile method hydrolyzed acrylonitrile to obtain crude lactic acid, and then hydrolyzed to obtain lactic acid after methanol esterification: acrylonitrile was sent to the reactor, and hydrolyzed under the catalysis of sulfuric acid to generate a mixture of lactic acid and ammonium hydrogen sulfate. The mixture enters the esterification reactor and is esterified with methanol. After separating out ammonium hydrogen sulfate, the crude ester is sent to the rectification tower, and the refined ester is obtained at the bottom of the tower. The refined ester is then sent to the distillation tower for thermal decomposition to obtain dilute Poly l Lactic Acid. Finally, the product is obtained by vacuum concentration.
