Solvents play a major role in all stages of industrial
manufacturing sector. The environmental and toxicological effects of solvents
have become important in chemical processes.
Because environmental problems have threatened the natural
order including climate change and global warming, a lot of research is being
carried out to find environmentally safe chemicals and processes. Lactic acid is the simplest
hydroxycarboxylic acid with an asymmetric carbon atom. It can be obtained from biomass,
petroleum and coal.
Copolymers and polymers of lactic acid are known to be
eco-friendly and are compatible due to their degradability mild products, which
makes them desirable as an alternative petrochemical polymer.
