Meanwhile, the purity of lactide also directly influences the polymerization degree of polylactic acid generated by polymerization of lactide, and further, in the synthesis of lactide, the lactic acid oligomer with more concentrated polymerization degree obtained by condensation polymerization of lactic acid is the most critical step, and the purity and yield of lactide are directly influenced.
The existing synthetic method of the low-polymer lactic acid generally comprises the following steps: heating in inert gas atmosphere to dehydrate and polymerize L-lactic acid, and separating and recovering lactic acid oligomer from reaction product. However, the existing production processes of lactic acid oligomers have the problems of insufficient dehydration and wide polymerization degree distribution, which causes excessive byproducts in the process of depolymerizing to lactide.
