Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of ethyl lactate having a purity greater than 97% from lactic acid or a lactic acid composition.
- Ethyl lactate can be used alone or in combination with other solvents, as agents for cleaning and degreasing in a machine and in a non-aqueous medium of solid surfaces such as metal parts, ceramics, glass, materials plastics which have been soiled with oils or greases for machining and / or their temporary protection.
- lactide (IV) does not form.
- the oligomers (II), (III) and / or (V) have been detected for the good reason that industrially, commercial solutions of lactic acid are used.
- lactic acid composition is understood to mean any aqueous solution of lactic acid, whatever its method of production and its characteristics, said solution having a very variable lactic acid purity.
- This transesterification reaction (7) is generally carried out in the presence of basic catalysts, alkyl orthotitanates or complexes based on zirconium.
- the esterification of lactic acid into ethyl lactate is made more complicated by: the presence of lactic acid oligomers in the starting lactic acid compositions which it is a question of depolycondensing to obtain lactic acid,
- the present invention therefore relates to a continuous process for preparation of ethyl lactate (I) by esterification 'lactic acid [- or a lactic acid composition] using ethanol according to reaction (1 ):
- this mixture is subjected to a flash separation, at a temperature between 80 ° C and 90 ° C and under a pressure less than or equal to 65 bar, and that, - on the one hand, the flow is subjected overhead comprising ethyl lactate, ethanol and water, to a fractional distillation continuously, at atmospheric pressure, by introducing said flow onto a determined tray of a distillation column;
- the foot flow is continuously recycled, consisting essentially of unprocessed lactic acid and heavy products, in the esterification reaction medium; and recovering, at the top of the fractional distillation, a mixture of ethanol and water, and, at the bottom of the fractional distillation, an ethyl lactate having a water content at most equal to 0.3% , an ethanol content of less than 0.5% and a purity of more than 94%.
- the mixture is extracted from the reaction medium when a conversion rate of lactic acid at most equal to 80% has been reached and, preferably, when this conversion rate is between 65% and 75 %.
- This mixture can be extracted from the reaction medium, agitated by simple overflowing, and then conveyed to a flash separation device.
- the reaction is carried out in the presence of a soluble or insoluble catalyst in the esterification reaction medium.
- soluble catalysts examples include H 2 S0 98%, H 3 P0 4 , methanesulfonic acid. Preferably, H 2 S0 4 98% will be used.
- the catalyst according to the invention is used at molar contents ranging from 0.1% to 4% and, preferably, at contents ranging from 0.2% to 3% relative to the 100% lactic acid used. artwork.
- the overhead stream leaving the flash separation feeds a fractional distillation column at an appropriate location on said column, preferably located in the lower part of said column. This location will be determined by a person skilled in the art by calculation, taking into account in particular the number of theoretical plates of the column, the reflux rate, the desired fractionation.
- the distillation is carried out at atmospheric pressure at a column bottom temperature ranging from 152 ° C to 165 ° C.
- the heads of said distillation comprise ethanol in amounts at most equal to 85% (by weight), water and traces of ethyl lactate.
- This mixture can be dehydrated and the alcohol, in the form of an azeotrope, can be recycled into the esterification reaction medium.
- the process according to the present invention applies very particularly to the esterification with ethanol of the lactic acid contained in commercial lactic acid compositions as defined above.
- lactic acid lactic acid compositions Preferably, 87% by weight lactic acid lactic acid compositions will be used.
- the ethyl lactate from the bottom of the fractional distillation contains almost neither water nor ethanol, which makes it possible to obtain, after easy purification, a pure ethyl lactate.
- the method according to the present invention can be implemented in a device as shown in FIG. 1.
- This device includes:
- a reactor (1) optionally provided with stirring, with a temperature probe, with lactic acid (2), ethanol (3) and catalyst (4) supplies; - a flash separation column (5) supplied in phase extracted from the reactor (1) by the supply line (6);
- the distillation column (7) has a diameter of 70 cm and is filled with a Sulzer B X 70 packing. It has 35 theoretical plates. Conduct of the test
- the ethanol / lactic acid molar ratio is 2.5.
- the esterification is carried out at 80 ° C. under atmospheric pressure.
- the progress of the reaction is carried out by assaying lactic acid by CPV.
- a mixture is continuously extracted from the reactor (1) comprising:
- This mixture is subjected to flash separation in column (5) at 85 ° C under a pressure of 50 m bar.
- the head flow including:
- the operation is carried out at a column bottom temperature of 155 ° C.
- the head temperature is 77.2 ° C.
- the reflux rate is fixed at 1.3.
- a mixture is obtained at the head comprising (by weight) 76% ethanol and 24% water and traces of ethyl lactate ( ⁇ 0.3%).
- the ethyl lactate comes out with a purity greater than 94.6% and containing less than 1% water and less than 1% ethanol.
- This crude ethyl lactate is subjected to purification by fractional distillation under reduced pressure.
