Method For Vaporizing Lactic Acid, Apparatus For Vaporizing Lactic Acid, And Method For Preparing Acrylic Acid From Lactic Acid - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18029809 titled 'Method For Vaporizing Lactic Acid, Apparatus For Vaporizing Lactic Acid, And Method For Preparing Acrylic Acid From Lactic Acid

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method and apparatus for vaporizing lactic acid, which aims to reduce lactic acid oligomers and increase single-molecule lactic acid content.

  • The method involves heating and pressurizing a lactic acid aqueous solution.
  • A liquid phase containing the heated and pressurized lactic acid solution is sprayed in a 1-1 stream.
  • The lactic acid in the 1-1 stream is vaporized through spraying.
  • A gas phase containing single-molecule lactic acid is obtained in a 1-3 stream.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for vaporizing lactic acid. According to the method and apparatus, the content of lactic acid oligomers can be reduced within a short period of time, and the content of single-molecule lactic acid can be increased. The method includes heating and pressurizing a lactic acid aqueous solution, spraying a 1-1 stream of a liquid phase containing the heated and pressurized lactic acid aqueous solution, vaporizing the lactic acid contained in the 1-1 stream through spraying; and obtaining a 1-3 stream of a gas phase containing single-molecule lactic acid.
