TI - Pilot Plant Study of Recovery of Lactic Acid from Ethyl Lactate N2 - Purified lactic acid is used for production of biodegradable polymer. Esterification with ethanol and subsequent hydrolysis in distillation columns to produce purified lactic acid without catalyst has obvious advantages. In this paper, we present a pilot-plant study of ethyl lactate hydrolysis to produce 3.86 kg/h lactic acid (99.85 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c8Mu0TsmGulegsCByiHQlF-hW36vXKpq/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
