Definitions
- the present invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of alkyl ester hydroxycarboxyiic acids.
- the present invention particularly relates to a catalytic process for the conversion of mixtures containing free lactic acid and/or dimers and/or highpolymers of lactic acids and its alkyl esters to alkyl esters of aliphatic alcohols by contact of its mixtures with aliphatic alcohols.
- lactic acid esters can advantageously be taken advantage of in numerous fields of activity, such as the metal industries, the automobile and aviation industries, the paint and ink industries, the resin and varnish industries, the pharmaceutical and cosmetological industries, and the semiconductor industries.
- esters of lactic acid remains to this day a product which is still not manufactured and used industrially to any great extent, in particular with regard to chlorinated solvents, glycols or glycol ethers, because of their price, which in two - four times above than the price of the main commercially accessible glycol ethers.
- US 5264617 (DU PONT) 23.11.1993 reports synthesis of lactic acid esters in the presence of a catalyst (p-toluene sulfonic acid) by depolymerization of polylactide by heating with a Ci to Ce alkyl alcohol in an amount of 1-3 mole of alcohol per hydroxy acid equivalent. Yield of lactic acid esters is 87%.
- a catalyst p-toluene sulfonic acid
- a continues process for manufacture of ethyl lactate by catalytic rectifying method is described in a patent CN 1613842 (UNIV TSINGHUA) 11.05.2005 . It is carried out by lactic acid catalytic reacting with alcohol (3-5 mole of ethanol per mole of lactic acid) in catalytic section of catalytic rectifying tower with highly acid ionic exchanging resin as a catalyst, generating ethyl lactate, vaporizing alcohol in reacting solution and generated water, enriching in rectifying section of rectifying tower, alcohol and water condensing in condenser, one part returning feed storing tank, another part back flowing into catalytic rectifying tower.
- alcohol 3-5 mole of ethanol per mole of lactic acid
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a process continues esterification of lactic acid, dimers, oligomers, polymers and its esters for the preparation of alkyl esters.
- One embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1, and includes reactor I, mixer IV, vessel III and throttling device II.
- the reaction may be catalyzed by one or more of a number of methods.
- a heterogeneous catalyst may be retained at tubes of reactor I.
- Homogeneous catalyst may be loaded in the vessel III and circulates on a line: vessel III - mixer IV - reactor I - vessel III.
- the reaction can carry out in the absence of the catalyst, but in this case a high temperature is required.
- the mixture of free lactic acid, oligomers and/or polymers, its alkyl esters, alcohol and homogeneous catalyst is loaded into a vessel III and circulated via (4) through heated reactor I approximately within 3-7 hours.
- a vaporous of crude ester continuously is drawn off from the vessel III according to a level of a liquid phase at a vessel III.
- a vaporous of crude ester is condensed and to distill.
- the crude esters are essentially free from water and alcohol.
- FIG. 2 Other embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2, and includes reactor I, mixers IV and VII, column Il and V, and vessel III.
- a heterogeneous catalyst may be retained at tubes of reactor I.
- Homogeneous catalyst may be loaded into the still of column Il and circulates on a line: column Il - mixer IV - vessel III - (reactor I) - column V - mixer IV - column II.
- a vaporous of crude ester continuously is drawn off from the vessel Ul according to a level of a liquid phase at the vessel III, is condensed and is analyzed by GLC analysis.
- the condensate (flow 3, approximate 14.6 g/h) has the following composition, %wt: Methyl Lactate -96.3; Methanol - 1.9; Water- 1.8.
- the yield of methyl lactate is 99.8%.
- the tubes of reactor I was charged with of the heterogeneous catalyst (Nafion-H). 200 g oligomers of lactic acid with the mean degree of polymerization (MDP) equal to 10, 65 g butanol, 60 g butyl lactate and 1.0g tin(ll) 2-ethylhexanoate are loaded into the vessel III. A resulting mixture circulated via (4) (approximate 86.7 g/h) through the heated reactor I (145 0 C) approximately within 7 hours.
- MDP mean degree of polymerization
- the condensate of column 5 (approximate 19.8 g/h) has the following composition, %wt.: Butyl Lactate -95.5; Butanol - 3.0; Water -1.5. The yield of Butyl lactate is 99.5%.
- the condensate of column 2 (approximate 2.3 g/h) has the following composition %wt.: Lactic acid - 2; Butanol - 2; Butyl Lactate - 1 ; Water - 95.
