In order to more clearly illustrate the invention, the invention is further described below with reference to preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Similar parts in the figures are denoted by the same reference numerals. It is to be understood by persons skilled in the art that the following detailed description is illustrative and not restrictive, and is not to be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.
The first part is the research on the technological conditions of producing poly-L-lactic acid by melt polycondensation and solid phase polycondensation of L-lactic acid oligomer
1 melt polycondensation-solid phase polycondensation for producing high molecular weight poly-L-lactic acid
1.1 melt polycondensation Process technical Studies
1.1.1 Effect of catalyst dosage on the molecular weight of Poly-L-lactic acid produced during melt polycondensation
The melt polycondensation of L-lactic acid oligomer to produce poly L-lactic acid is a slow reversible reaction without a catalyst and without a reduced pressure, and the catalyst allows the reaction system to proceed toward poly L-lactic acid, thereby suppressing the production of lactide.
The catalyst used in the embodiment is prepared by uniformly mixing the component A and the component B according to the mass ratio of 1: 2; the preparation method of the component A comprises the following steps: adding diacetyl tartaric acid monoglyceride and diglyceride into water at 60 deg.C, the mass ratio of diacetyl tartaric acid monoglyceride and water is 2:100, stirring for 20 min, and adding Mn (H)2P04)2,Mn(H2P04)2Stirring the mixture and water at the mass ratio of 5:100 and the temperature of 50-60 ℃ for 3 hours, then heating to 80 ℃ and evaporating to dryness to obtain a component A; the preparation method of the component B comprises the following steps: mixing N- [ N- (3, 3-dimethylbutyl) -L-alpha-aspartyl]Adding (E) -L-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester into water at 20 deg.C, and adding N- [ N- (3, 3-dimethylbutyl) -L-alpha-aspartyl]The mass ratio of the L-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester to the water is 5:1000, and stirring is carried out for 10 minutes; then adding disodium stannous citrate and lemonStirring for 5 minutes, wherein the mass ratio of the stannous acid disodium to the water is 15: 1000; heating to 90 deg.C, and evaporating to obtain component B.
Under otherwise identical conditions, the effect of different catalyst addition amounts on the molecular weight (weight average molecular weight Mw) of the melt polycondensation of L-lactic acid oligomers to poly-L-lactic acid was experimentally optimized, and the results are shown in FIG. 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 1, the weight average molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid in the melt polycondensation process increases and then decreases with the increase of the amount of catalyst, the degradation rate of poly L-lactic acid in the reaction system is greater than the generation rate of poly L-lactic acid due to the excessive amount of catalyst, the side reaction is promoted, when the amount of catalyst accounts for more than 0.35% of the mass fraction of oligomeric L-lactic acid, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid increases gently, and when the amount of catalyst accounts for more than 0.5% of the mass fraction of oligomeric L-lactic acid, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid begins to decrease. Comprehensively considering the production benefit, the optimal dosage is selected when the catalyst dosage accounts for 0.35 percent of the mass fraction of the L-lactic acid oligomer.
1.1.2 Effect of vacuum degree on polymerization
Since the polycondensation reaction of the L-lactic acid oligomer is a thermodynamic equilibrium process, methods such as pressure reduction are required to move the reaction in the polymerization direction. In the melt polycondensation process, the control of the reaction pressure is a decisive factor influencing the molecular weight growth of the polymer and the generation amount of the byproduct lactide, and the optimal control of the reaction pressure can move the equilibrium towards the positive reaction direction and prevent the generation of excessive lactide. The influence of the reaction pressure on the yield of poly-L-lactic acid in the melt polycondensation was examined and the results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 influence of reaction pressure on the yield of poly-L-lactic acid
As can be seen from Table 1, the yield of poly L-lactic acid obtained by melt polycondensation is the greatest and the overall efficiency is the highest at a reaction pressure of 1600Pa, and the optimum parameter is selected at a reaction pressure of 1600 Pa.
1.1.3 Effect of reaction time on the molecular weight of Poly-L-lactic acid produced by melt polycondensation
The effect of reaction time on the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid produced by melt polycondensation was examined under otherwise identical conditions, and the results are shown in FIG. 2.
As is clear from FIG. 2, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid gradually increased with the increase of the reaction time from 0 to 20 hours, and the rate of increase was decreased after 8 hours. And after 20h, the reaction time is continuously increased, the viscosity of the reaction system is increased, the discharge of small molecular water is difficult, the degradation rate is higher than the synthesis rate of the poly-L-lactic acid, the reaction moves towards the lactide direction, and the molecular weight of the poly-L-lactic acid is reduced. Comprehensively checking the production efficiency, and selecting the reaction time of 8h, 10h and 12h to carry out orthogonal test.
1.1.4 Effect of reaction temperature on molecular weight and yield of Poly-L-lactic acid produced by melt polycondensation
The effect of reaction time on the molecular weight and yield of poly-L-lactic acid produced by melt polycondensation was examined under otherwise identical conditions, and the results are shown in FIG. 3.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, when the temperature is lower than 190 ℃, the molecular weight of the poly L-lactic acid product increases with the increase of the temperature, and when the temperature is higher than 190 ℃, the rate of depolymerization of the poly L-lactic acid into lactide and hydrolysis reaction is accelerated due to the overhigh temperature, resulting in slow decrease of the molecular weight of the poly L-lactic acid. When the temperature is more than 180 ℃, the yield of the poly-L-lactic acid is rapidly reduced. The production efficiency is integrated, and the reaction temperature is 170 ℃, 180 ℃ and 190 ℃ for orthogonal test.
1.1.5 Effect of the stirring speed on the molecular weight of Poly-L-lactic acid produced by melt polycondensation
The effect of the stirring speed on the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid produced by the melt polycondensation reaction was examined under the same conditions of reaction time, pressure, temperature, etc., and the results are shown in FIG. 4.
As is clear from FIG. 4, when the stirring speed is less than 60rpm, the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid increases with the increase of the rotation speed in the same reaction time, and the stirring makes the temperature of each part in the reactor uniform, thereby accelerating the reaction. When the stirring speed is more than 60rpm, the stirring speed is too high, resulting in a decrease in the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid. And (3) synthesizing the production efficiency, and selecting three speeds of 50rpm, 60rpm and 70rpm to perform an orthogonal test.
1.1.6 Combined design of melt polycondensation Process indices
The catalyst addition and the reaction pressure are used as melt polycondensation control constants, the reaction time, the reaction temperature and the stirring speed are used as independent variables, and the molecular weight MW of the product poly-L-lactic acid is used as a dependent variable for analysis.
Test results and significance test thereof:
in the experiment, three main factors influencing the melt polycondensation process are determined, three levels of the three factors are determined through a large number of experiments, 3 levels of the three factors are designed according to the center combination design principle of Box-Behnken, as shown in a table 2, and the experimental results are shown in a table 3.
TABLE 2 three-factor three-level table
TABLE 3 Box-Behnken test results
The Design expert statistical software is used for carrying out regression fitting on the table 3 test data through stepwise regression and carrying out variance analysis on the model, and the influence of each influencing factor on the molecular weight of the product poly-L-lactic acid is not a simple linear relation. Determining the optimal point of the three factors according to a response surface diagram and contour line analysis, selecting the starting point in the model range, optimizing by using a rapid rise method according to the model, and finally determining that the maximum poly-L-lactic acid molecular weight is 3.9 multiplied by 10 when the temperature is A10h, B180 ℃ and C60rpm4。
In order to test the reliability of the design result of the Box-Behnken experiment, the optimized proportioning experiment is adopted for 10 times, and the average value of the molecular weight of the extracted poly-L-lactic acid is finally measured to be 3.8 multiplied by 104Relative error, compared to theoretical predictionLess than 2.5%. Therefore, the technological parameters of reaction time, reaction temperature and stirring speed obtained by Box-Behnken test design are accurate and reliable, have practical value and are the optimal technological parameters.
An optimized process for producing poly-L-lactic acid by melt polycondensation is obtained through the experiments: namely, the adding amount of the catalyst accounts for 0.35 percent of the mass of the lactic acid, the reaction pressure is 1600Pa, the reaction time is 10h, the reaction temperature is 180 ℃, and the stirring speed is 60 rpm.
1.2 solid phase polycondensation Process technical study
Because the molecular weight of the poly-L-lactic acid generated by melt polycondensation is relatively low, the poly-L-lactic acid with higher molecular weight can be prepared by adding a solid phase polycondensation process on the basis of melt polycondensation. Because the conventional solid phase polycondensation reaction time is longer, the invention adopts a pre-crystallization method to shorten the molecular weight distribution of the melt polycondensation product, thereby improving the production efficiency.
1.2.1 Effect of Pre-crystallization time on molecular weight of solid phase polycondensation product
The effect of different pre-crystallization times on the molecular weight of the final product poly-L-lactic acid was tested under the same solid phase polycondensation and other conditions, and the results are shown in FIG. 5.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, with the increase of the pre-crystallization time, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid, which is a solid phase polycondensation product, gradually increases under the same conditions, and when the pre-crystallization time is longer than 2 hours, the molecular increase is slow, which indicates that the degree of crystallization of the melt polycondensation product tends to be perfect, and the pre-crystallization time 2 hours is selected as the optimum parameter in view of the production efficiency.
1.2.2 Effect of Pre-crystallization temperature on prepolymer molecular weight
The effect of the precrystallisation temperature on the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid formed by the solid phase polycondensation was examined under otherwise identical conditions and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
As can be seen from FIG. 6, in the range of 90 to 120 ℃, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid, which is a solid phase polycondensation product, tends to increase with the increase of the pre-crystallization temperature, and the increase of the temperature promotes the growth of crystals, thereby facilitating the progress of the polycondensation reaction. When the temperature is more than 105 ℃, the molecular weight of poly-L-lactic acid is less increased because reactants are bonded into a mass in this temperature range, which is not favorable for increasing the molecular weight, and this is also the reason for the long time of conventional solid phase polycondensation. Therefore, the optimum pre-crystallization temperature is selected to be 105 ℃ in consideration of the production efficiency.
1.2.3 Effect of reaction temperature on molecular weight of solid phase polycondensation product
The prepolymer after pre-crystallization is quickly raised to a proper temperature, and the molecular weight growth trend of the product poly-L-lactic acid can be kept, so that the solid phase polycondensation time is reduced. The effect of different reaction temperatures on the molecular weight of the solid phase polycondensation product was examined and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
As can be seen from fig. 7, the reason why the product poly L-lactic acid increases and then decreases with the increase of the reaction temperature is that the reactivity of the terminal group segment increases with the increase of the reaction temperature, which is advantageous for the solid phase reaction, but too high a temperature causes degradation reaction of poly L-lactic acid and fusion bonding of particles, which results in a decrease in the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid. In combination, 155 ℃ is selected as the optimal reaction temperature for solid phase polycondensation.
1.2.4 Effect of reaction time on molecular weight of solid phase polycondensation product
The effect of the reaction temperature on the molecular weight of the solid phase polycondensation product poly L-lactic acid was examined under the same conditions at a reaction temperature of 155 ℃ and the results are shown in FIG. 8.
As is clear from FIG. 8, the molecular weight of poly L-lactic acid gradually increased with the increase of the reaction time, and when the reaction time exceeded 15 hours, the thermal degradation reaction of poly L-lactic acid started to rise, and the molecular weight increased slowly. Considering the reaction time of 15h, the molecular weight of the obtained product can meet the application requirements, and selecting the solid phase polycondensation reaction time of 15h as the optimal process parameter by combining the production efficiency.
2 Poly L-lactic acid Synthesis Main control parameters
As can be seen from the pilot plant experiments for selecting and optimizing various process indexes, the main control parameters of the synthesis of poly-L-lactic acid are shown in Table 4.

Note: the product technology of the national and foreign countries is the product technology of the national Nature Works and the product technology of a certain company.
5. Cost analysis
Based on the completed pilot test, we analyzed the production cost of the key technology of the new biodegradable polymer material, and see table 7:
TABLE 7 direct material consumption cost accounting (calculated according to 1 ton of poly-L-lactic acid product)
Serial number | Product and Material names | Unit consumption | Univalent (yuan) | Cost (Yuan) |
1 | 90% common L-lactic acid (/ T) | 1.53 | 6090 | 9317.70 |
2 | Catalyst (/ kg) | 5.94 | 91.8 | 545.29 |
3 | Steam (/ T) | 3.2 | 130 | 416.00 |

5 | Electric (/ KWh) | 650 | 0.5 | 325.00 |
6 | Package (I) | 470.00 | ||
Total up to | 11097.99 |
Compared with the market polymerization-grade L-lactic acid, the cost of material consumption of each ton of raw material can be reduced by 3100 yuan.
The project industrialization expects the production scale of 1 ten thousand tons of poly L-lactic acid every year, 17500 ten thousand yuan of sales income (the market price of the current like products is 19000 yuan-25000 yuan/ton) can be newly increased every year, and 4148 ten thousand yuan of profit is newly added.
