Experimental and Mathematical Analysis of the Kinetics of the Low-Waste Process of Butyl Lactate Synthesis

Butyl lactate is a green solvent produced from renewable materials through the reaction of ammonium with n-butanol. It could be source material for valuable products such as propylene glycol, acrylic acid, its derivatives, and cyclic monomer polylactic acid (PLA)—lactate. In this study, we present novel non-catalytic interactions n-butanol carried out in temperature range 130–170 °C closed system. The study focused on kinetic modelling between to derive mathematical model reactor unit butyl synthesis. aim work was kinetics interaction n-butanol, well obtain process parameters. We suggested chemical transformation routes determined parameters that adequately describe system within studied condition range. proposes first accounts lactamide formation two routes. This showed high-temperature one prospective synthesis
