Butanolysis of poly(lactic acid) catalyzed by ionic liquids
The butanolysis of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was studied using ionic liquid [Bmim][OAc] as solvent and catalyst. The effects of reaction temperature
reaction time
ionic liquid dosage and n-butanol dosage were examined. It was indicated that the conversion of PLA was≥81% and the yield of n-butyl lactate was≥70% under the following conditions: reaction temperature 150℃
reaction time 3 h
m([Bmim][OAc]):m(PLA)=0.2:1 and n(n-butanol):n(PLA)=5:1. Reusability of ionic liquid showed that [Bmim][OAc] could be reused up to 6 times without change in the conversion of PLA and yield of n-butyl lactate.
