ある。2. Description of the Related Art Lactic acid-based polylactic acid is easily hydrolyzed or thermally decomposed into a cyclic dimer lactide, has good transparency and rigidity, and has good compatibility with other biodegradable substances. Since various grade designs are possible by copolymerization, attention is being paid not only to medical materials but also to films, blown fibers and general molded products.

させて、ポリ硫酸を製造する方法が提案されている。[0003] Generally, this polylactic acid is produced by ring-opening polymerization of lactide, which is a cyclic dimer. However, this method has a large cost in the lactide production step and the purification step, and eventually increases the product cost of polylactic acid, which is a major obstacle to practical use. Therefore, a method of producing polysulfuric acid by directly polycondensing a lactic acid monomer with the aim of reducing costs has been proposed.

った。However, in such a method, a large amount of a solvent is added to the reaction system in order to efficiently remove water and low-boiling components produced as a by-product in the polycondensation reaction outside the system, and a vacuum pump is used outside the system together with the by-product water. After suction and separation of water and low-boiling components, the solvent is purified and recycled to the reaction system.As a result, a large amount of solvent is required, resulting in high purification and recycling costs and after completion of polymerization. A large amount of solvent remains in the product polymer,
There was a problem that the separation and purification cost a lot.

度が小さいという問題があった。As shown in FIG. 1, the polycondensation reaction from the lactic acid monomer has a reaction equilibrium between the monomer, the prepolymer, the lactide and the polymer, and in particular, maintains the lactide concentration in the reaction solution at a certain level or more. Without it, the rate of depolymerization reaction of the prepolymer or polymer becomes high, that is, there is a difficulty that the molecular weight does not increase, but in the conventional techniques as described above, the solvent, lactide and water are removed from the reaction system. Therefore, there is a problem that the speed for increasing the molecular weight is naturally low.

A method of cooling and liquefying the product with a reflux device and refluxing it has been developed, and a patent application (JP-A-8-14364) has already been filed.

あまり大きなものが得られないのが実状であった。However, the conventional reflux device used in this method has a structure in which the screw 31 or the baffle plate is inserted into the inner tube of the cooling double tube 32 as shown in FIG. Lactide having a high freezing point (mp = 95-98 ° C.) crystallizes when the temperature of the cooling medium is lowered in order to completely liquefy and reflux the low molecular weight compound of lactic acid and reflux. When the temperature of the cooling medium is raised to near the freezing point of lactide in order to prevent the crystallization, the central portion of the reflux tube (perpendicular to the axis) is obstructed. (In the cross section), cooling was not effective, so that the solvent and lactide could not be liquefied, and there was a tendency that some of them were scattered out of the system as vapor. As a result, the reaction rate did not increase, and the reaction equilibrium was hard to reach the polymer side, and as a result, a substance with a very high reached molecular weight could not be obtained.

ことはない。In this multi-tube heat exchange condenser, the length of the conduction tube is sufficiently increased so that lactide, low-molecular-weight lactic acid or a solvent can be completely removed even at a high cooling temperature near the freezing point of lactide. By refluxing, it is possible to prevent scattering to the outside of the reaction system.
Even if the temperature is slightly lowered to ~ 90 ° C, lactide crystals are formed, but unlike the conventional screw type or baffle plate type, the crystals are formed on the inner wall of the vertically arranged heat transfer tube, so that the solvent ( (Liquid), lactic acid (Liquid), and low-molecular-weight compounds are washed away, and the inside of the conductive tube is not blocked.
