- the inventor collects lactic acid from a lactic acid-containing solution by crystallization, and further recycles the mother liquor to a crystallization process to recover lactic acid in high yield. It has been found that there is a problem that the crystallization yield decreases due to accumulation.
- the present invention recovers lactic acid from a lactic acid-containing solution by crystallization, and suppresses the accumulation of lactic acid multimers and impurities in the mother liquor recycling system to produce highly pure lactic acid with high efficiency and stability. It is an object to provide a method.
- the present inventors recovered lactic acid crystals by crystallization of lactic acid and circulated the mother liquor to the crystallization process.
- lactic acid collected from the vapor side by distilling a lactic acid-containing solution it was found that lactic acid crystals can be stably produced in a high yield without accumulating multimers of lactic acid in the circulation system of the crystallization process, The present invention has been completed.
- the present invention comprises the following (1) to (3).
- a step of distilling a lactic acid-containing solution and recovering lactic acid from the vapor side (Step A), a step of crystallizing lactic acid obtained in Step A (Step B), and a lactic acid slurry obtained in Step B being lactic acid
- a method for producing lactic acid comprising a step of solid-liquid separation into a crystal and a mother liquor (Step C) and a step of circulating the mother liquor obtained in Step C to Step B (Step D).
- Step B The method for producing lactic acid according to (1) or (2), wherein the crystallization in Step B is cooling crystallization, evaporation crystallization, or adiabatic crystallization.
- step (E) is a step of directly dehydrating and condensing lactic acid.
- the method for producing lactic acid of the present invention is obtained by distilling a lactic acid-containing solution and recovering lactic acid from the vapor side (step A), crystallization of lactic acid obtained in step A (step B), and step B. It is characterized by comprising a step (Step C) of solid-liquid separation of the obtained lactic acid slurry into lactic acid crystals and a mother liquor, and a step (Step D) of circulating the mother liquor obtained in Step C to Step B.
- Step C solid-liquid separation of the obtained lactic acid slurry into lactic acid crystals and a mother liquor
- Step D circulating the mother liquor obtained in Step C to Step B.
- the lactic acid-containing solution used in the present invention is not particularly limited except that the main component is free lactic acid (hereinafter referred to as free lactic acid), but is preferably derived from microbial fermentation.
- the lactic acid-containing solution derived from microbial fermentation may be a fermentation broth itself or may have been subjected to a plurality of purification steps from the fermentation broth.
- the main component in the lactic acid-containing solution is lactate (specifically, lithium lactate or sodium lactate). , Potassium lactate, calcium lactate, magnesium lactate, aluminum lactate or ammonium lactate, or a mixture thereof).
- lactate specifically, lithium lactate or sodium lactate
- Potassium lactate calcium lactate, magnesium lactate, aluminum lactate or ammonium lactate, or a mixture thereof.
- the lactate in the lactic acid-containing solution is converted into free lactic acid.
- a method for obtaining free lactic acid from lactate a method of adding an acidic substance to a lactate-containing solution can be employed.
- the acidic substance is not particularly limited, and sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and the like can be used, but sulfuric acid is used from the viewpoint that free lactic acid and salt can be easily separated by forming a hardly soluble salt. Is preferred.
- an acidic substance is added to a solution containing lactate as a main component and converted to a free lactic acid-containing solution, and the cationic component of lactate is removed as a hardly soluble salt
- an acidic substance is added to the lactate-containing solution
- a free lactic acid-containing solution from which a cation derived from lactate has been removed can be obtained by solid-liquid separation of the cation component in the solution as a hardly soluble salt by precipitation, filtration or the like.
- the method for solid-liquid separation of the hardly soluble salt is not particularly limited, and methods known to those skilled in the art such as filtration with qualitative filter paper and centrifugation can be applied.
- the lactic acid fermentation broth contains a large amount of free lactic acid, such as using a lactic acid fermentation broth in which lactic acid fermentation is performed at a low pH (for example, pKa of lactic acid or less), the lactic acid fermentation broth It can be used for step A as it is.
- step A the lactic acid-containing solution is subjected to a distillation step.
- the present inventor includes impurities that promote oligomerization (polymerization) of lactic acid among impurities that can be removed in the distillation step (step A), and the impurities are removed in the distillation step. It has been found that accumulation of lactic acid oligomers in the subsequent crystallization step (step B) and mother liquor circulation step (step D) is suppressed, and stable operation and recovery of lactic acid crystals at a high yield are possible.
- step A Purification of lactic acid by a distillation step (step A) that requires heating to volatilize lactic acid has been considered to be one of the factors for oligomerization of lactic acid (see, for example, JP 2001-506274 A). (See page 6.)
- the lactic acid obtained by the distillation step (step A) which is risk of oligomerization of lactic acid, is used in the subsequent crystallization step (step B).
- step D crystallization step
- step A the lactic acid-containing solution is distilled to collect lactic acid from the vapor side, and at the same time, high boiling point or nonvolatile impurities are removed as a distillation residue as a solution.
- the lactic acid concentration of the lactic acid-containing solution used for the distillation process is no particular restriction on the lactic acid concentration of the lactic acid-containing solution used for the distillation process, but if the lactic acid concentration in the solution is too low, the distillation equipment becomes large, and if the concentration is too high, the distillation yield decreases due to excessive oligomerization. In some cases, if it is 40 to 95% by weight, more preferably 60 to 90% by weight, distillation can be suitably performed.
- the distillation step is performed under a reduced pressure of 1 Pa or more and atmospheric pressure (normal pressure, about 101 kPa) or less. It is more preferable to carry out under a reduced pressure of 10 Pa or more and 30 kPa or less because the distillation temperature can be reduced.
- the distillation temperature when performing under reduced pressure is 20 ° C. or more and 200 ° C. or less. However, when distillation is performed at a temperature exceeding 180 ° C., lactic acid may be racemized due to the influence of impurities. If it is above 180 degreeC or less, More preferably, it is 60 degreeC or more and 150 degrees C or less, Distillation of lactic acid can be performed suitably.
- the distillation step can be applied to the present invention regardless of whether it is a batch type (batch) or a continuous type.
- lactic acid tends to oligomerize due to its structure under dehydration conditions (heating, reduced pressure), it is preferable to reduce the residence time as much as possible. Therefore, since a short-time distillation can be achieved by using a thin film evaporator such as a falling film evaporator or a wiping film evaporator as the distillation apparatus, it is preferable because the recovery rate of lactic acid can be improved. Moreover, the lactic acid vaporized by the distillation apparatus is cooled and recovered by a condenser (condenser).
- the vapor phase contains water and low-boiling components in addition to lactic acid, so the first stage condenser performs condensation to condense lactic acid and, in some cases, an arbitrary proportion of water, and the second stage condenser.
