    摘要: This invention provides a method for synthesizing glycolide using methyl glycolate as a raw material, comprising two steps as illustrated in the following reaction formulas:




    wherein, the ROH represents a straight/branched chain alcohol, acid or ester containing 18-30 carbons and at least one hydroxyl group. The method for glycolide synthesis disclosed in the present invention manages to maintain a low viscosity within the reaction system by introducing a high-boiling alcohol into the reaction system to form a larger alkoxy glycolate exhibiting a significantly lower molecular weight compared to the typical glycolic acid oligomers utilized in the conventional process. Thus the challenges of coking and inefficient heat transfer encountered in traditional glycolide synthesis routes are effectively addressed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for synthesizing lactide comprising the steps of: providing one or more components to at least one reactor, the one or more components comprising lactic acid; converting at least part of the lactic acid into lactide and water and into lactic acid oligomers; recovering at least part of the lactide; recovering at least part of the water and at least part of the lactic acid oligomers; adding a feed, optionally comprising lactic acid oligomers, and optionally comprising water, to the recovered water and the recovered lactic acid oligomers, and mixing the feed with the recovered water and the recovered lactic acid oligomers to form a mixture; converting at least part of the lactic acid oligomers in the mixture into lactic acid and into lactic acid dimer; and removing at least part of the water from the mixture; whereby at least part of the remainder of the mixture is provided as one of the one or more components that are provided to the at least one reactor; and, wherein the step of converting at least part of the lactic acid into lactide and water is performed in one step.

    摘要: A method of recovering lactide which includes throwing a polylactic acid and a depolymerization catalyst into an extruder (1) communicated with a vent chamber (3) maintained under a reduced pressure, melt-kneading the polylactic acid and the depolymerization catalyst together in the extruder (1), feeding the melt-kneaded product thereof into the vent chamber (3), depolymerizing the polylactic acid in the vent chamber (3), gasifying the formed lactide and recovering the gasified lactide from the vent chamber (3).
