Description

New technology for producing ethyl lactate
The present invention relates to the production technique of ethyl lactate, particularly the production technique of flavouring agent level ethyl lactate.
Ethyl lactate claims ethyl again, and colourless transparent liquid has soft fruital, 154 ℃ of boiling points, and relative density (25/25 ℃) 1.030, refractive index (20 ℃) 1.4124 dissolves each other fully with water and part is decomposed, and is soluble in alcohol, ether, ketone and ester class.It is industrial having been widely used such as essence, food, wine brewing, solvents.
U.S. chemical abstract (C.A.), World Patent Index (WPI) and world patent abstract (WPA) before the present invention makes, still find no the production technique similar to the present invention by retrieval.
About the more representational document of ethyl lactate production technique, as: " (" Fenaroli spices handbook third part " synthetic perfume " is turned over Ze Ben to the synthetic flavor handbook in the U.S..Jinan City light industry institute compiling, light industry press, September in 1985 the 1st edition, 597 pages) in introduced the synthetic method of ethyl lactate: lactic acid and ethanol react in benzole soln and prepare in the presence of the vitriol oil or chlorsulfonic acid or Phenylsulfonic acid.
The most technology that adopts traditional sulphuric acid catalysis, benzene dehydration esterification of present domestic ethyl lactate manufacturer.This technology is summarized as follows: lactic acid (content 80%) and ethanol (92~93%) are pressed a certain proportion ingredient, add the vitriol oil as catalyzer, add a large amount of benzene as dewatering agent, then in esterifying kettle (tower) internal heating backflow esterification, form ternary azeotrope and the water that produces in the water that contains in the raw material and the esterification process is removed by benzene, ethanol, water three, to improve the one-tenth ester rate of lactic acid.After esterification finished, the mixture of recovery part ethanol and benzene carried out the electrically heated atmospheric distillation then in rectifying still (tower), and getting 147~157 ℃ of fractions is the ethyl lactate finished product.Because the physical properties and the chemical property of lactic acid and ethyl lactate and lipid acid and fatty-acid ethyl ester have very big difference: (1) lactic acid is typical alpha hydroxy acid, be decomposed into acetaldehyde and formic acid when altogether hot with dilute sulphuric acid, generate rac-Lactide with dewatering agent when altogether hot, the peculiar side reaction of these alcohol acids will reduce the productive rate of lactic acid greatly; (2) ethyl lactate and water dissolve each other fully, and fatty-acid ethyl ester then is slightly soluble in water or water-soluble hardly; (3) lactic raw material itself just contains the water about 20%, and the raw material of fatty acid water content of generally producing fatty-acid ethyl ester is less than 1%, therefore, the subject matter that above-mentioned traditional technology exists is: lactic acid yield only is 55~65%, the raw material consumption height, production cycle is long, equipment capacity is low, poor product quality, and have the smell of tangible benzene by the ethyl lactate of above-mentioned prepared, not only influenced aroma quality, and do not met food hygienic standard, so strictly speaking, the preparation of flavouring agent level ethyl lactate can not be adopted above-mentioned technology.
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of productive rate height, good economy performance, equipment capacity big, meet the flavouring agent level and require and the reliable new technology for producing ethyl lactate of stable operation.
The objective of the invention is to realize by following technical proposals: this novel process is a raw material with lactic acid (content 80%) and ethanol (content 92~93%), prepare ethyl lactate through batching, total reflux catalytic esterification, dehydration esterification, the processes such as ethanol, rectification under vacuum that reclaim, it is characterized in that: determined that new proportioning raw materials is a lactic acid: ethanol=1: 0.6~1.6 (weight ratio); Catalyzer is for mixing three kinds of acidic cpds that use; The complex compound and the SODIUM PHOSPHATE, MONOBASIC (or potassium primary phosphate) of hydrogen type strong acid resin, glycerol (or ethylene glycol) and boric acid, its weight ratio is 1: 0.5~1.0: 0.1~0.2, its total consumption is 2~6% of a lactic acid weight; Dewatering agent dehydrated alcohol (content 99.1~99.6%) is after the total reflux esterification process finishes, and adds continuously in the reactor, steams light ethanol simultaneously, and it is in a basic balance that dehydrated alcohol add-on and the light ethanol amount of steaming keep.
Above-mentioned whole process of production is carried out in a block response still (tower).
State-Owned Wujiang Perfumery adopt the present invention produced 400 surplus ton ethyl lactate, production practice prove, the present invention compared with prior art, (1) the productive rate height that has the following advantages (lactic acid yield reaches 97.2%, improves 32~42% than prior art); (2) low (the ethyl lactate raw material consumption standard with national-level enterprise [is selected from " light industry national-level enterprise standard (revised edition) " first volume to raw material consumption, Ministry of Light Industry of the People's Republic of China (PRC), in July, 1988,236 pages] compare, the lactic acid unit consumption standard of class-one national enterprises is 1.450 tons/ton, the lactic acid unit consumption standard of second-class state enterprise is 1.500 tons/ton, and lactic acid unit consumption of the present invention is stabilized in 0.973 ton/ton; (3) production cost reduces by 35~40%; (4) equipment capacity (in the reactor of unit volume) improves about 4 times; (5) facility investment reduces about 30%; (6) improved the security of operating; (7) product fragrance is pure, quality be up to state standards GB8319-87 and U.S. FCCIII standard, and meet food hygienic standard.
