Abstract

The invention aims to provide a method for simultaneously obtaining lactide with high yield and high purity by utilizing recrystallization of two solvents. The method is characterized in that two solvents are used for recrystallizing lactide in sequence according to the characteristics that ethanol is favorable for improving the purification yield of lactide but the molecular weight of the obtained polymer is not high, and ethyl acetate is favorable for improving the purity of lactide and can be polymerized to obtain high-molecular-weight polylactic acid but the yield is not high. Compared with the disclosed lactide purification method by recrystallization, the method has the characteristics that the recrystallization product yield is higher, and the high molecular weight polylactic acid is easier to polymerize.

Description

A kind of method of double-solvent lactide recrystallization
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of utilizing the recrystallization method purifying to obtain high yield, high purity rac-Lactide.Help improving rac-Lactide purifying yield according to ethanol, ethyl acetate helps improving rac-Lactide purity and the secure satisfactory grades characteristic of son amount poly(lactic acid) of polymerization, uses different organic solvents to reach the best recrystallization effect of rac-Lactide by being controlled at the different recrystallization stage.
Background technology
In the today of advocating sustainableization development, the application of biodegradable polymkeric substance just is being subjected to paying attention to widely.In numerous polyester of being studied up to now, (poly(lactic acid), Polylactic acid are one of a kind of important Biodegradable materials PLA) to polylactide, can be used for fields such as industry, packing business, pharmaceutical sector.The initial feed lactic acid of polylactide extensively derives from natural products such as corn, beet, Mierocrystalline cellulose, can effectively alleviate deficient day by day petroleum resources; The polylactide product can be decomposed into CO through microbial process again fully in physical environment simultaneously 2And H 2O, so polylactide not only has the characteristic of bio-based polymers but also belongs to good biological degradation polyalcohol, is biological renewable polymkeric substance truly.
High molecular weight polylactic acid is normally obtained by highly purified rac-Lactide ring-opening polymerization.Usually, rac-Lactide by aqueous lactic acid through low molecular weight as intermediate, obtain by the cracked method again.Patent CN1212343, CN1369490, AU2003231482, DE3232103, DE3708915, FR2843390, JP63101378, JP2004149418, US1095205, US5053522, US2002132967, US5463086 etc. have introduced the building-up process of rac-Lactide.
Contain impurity such as lactic acid monomer, lactic acid dipolymer (lactyllactic acid) and water in the crude product of lactide that aforesaid method obtains, these impurity can have a negative impact to the polyreaction of rac-Lactide: the existence of water can make the rac-Lactide hydrolysis obtain lactic acid, also can make polylactic acid molecule chain hydrolytic cleavage; The existence of acid such as lactic acid and dimer thereof can make the polylactic acid molecule chain be degraded etc. because of acidolysis.Therefore, crude product of lactide need be through purifying to remove its impurity that contains to reach the polymerization requirement.
Solvent recrystallization method purifying crude product of lactide is few because of its operation steps, technology is used comparatively extensive than maturation.Patent CN1488628, FR2843390, WO9315069 etc. introduce recrystallization method purifying rac-Lactide, and the recrystallization solvent of selecting for use has following kind: patent US4727163, CN1583740 to adopt ethyl acetate; JP10279577, CN100343246c adopt the lower member ester class; JP6279435 uses lower alcohol, ketone, ester class or its mixture etc.Patent CN100343247c has more optimized the influence to crystallization effect of recrystallization solution concentration in the recrystallization process, recrystallization time.Though most reports select for use ethyl acetate to obtain high-molecular weight polymer as the rac-Lactide polymerizable that solvent obtains, the recrystallization yield is not high; And select ethanol for use is solvent, though the recrystallization yield is higher, the applicant finds that through experiment the rac-Lactide that obtains with ethyl alcohol recrystallization is lower through the polylactic acid molecule amount that polymerization obtains.
But this patent points out to utilize the ethanol recrystallization to obtain high yield rac-Lactide and the rac-Lactide polymerizable of re-crystallizing in ethyl acetate obtains the characteristics of poly-lactic acid in high molecular weight, utilize ethyl alcohol recrystallization to obtain high yield rac-Lactide earlier, obtain to obtain the rac-Lactide of poly-lactic acid in high molecular weight again with re-crystallizing in ethyl acetate, the advantage of two kinds of solvents on yield and polymerization effect can obtain gratifying recrystallization result.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention promptly is optionally to use different solvents, and crude product of lactide is carried out recrystallization purifying, reaches the best recrystallization effect that high recrystallization yield and polymerizable obtain the rac-Lactide of poly-lactic acid in high molecular weight.
Purpose of the present invention can reach by following steps:
Earlier obtain high yield, obtain high purity with re-crystallizing in ethyl acetate again with ethyl alcohol recrystallization.Wherein, primary recrystallization solvent is an ethanol, and last recrystallization solvent is an ethyl acetate, and does not re-use ethanol carry out recrystallization after the use re-crystallizing in ethyl acetate.
Characteristics of the present invention are to help improving rac-Lactide purifying yield according to ethanol, but the molecular weight of the poly(lactic acid) that obtains is not high, and though ethyl acetate helps improving rac-Lactide purity and polymerization secures satisfactory grades son amount poly(lactic acid), but the characteristic that yield is low is controlled at the best recrystallization effect that the different organic solvent of different recrystallization stages uses reaches rac-Lactide.
