Evaluation and Characterisation of Composite Mesoporous Membrane for Lactic Acid and Ethanol Esterification

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.

Lactic Acid and Ethanol
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.
