Production of lactic acid mediated by compressed carbon dioxide on heterogeneous Ni(ii) catalysts: a facile approach

Abstract

Lactic acid is one of the appealing platform molecules in organic synthesis, currently in high demand after the innovation of bio-plastics. The limitations of traditional manufacturing routes (microbial process and...

Pulsed‐Laser‐Driven CO2 Reduction Reaction for the Control of the Photoluminescence Quantum Yield of Organometallic Gold Nanocomposites

“…We emphasize that the observation of the C 3 coupling to lactic acid during PLAL is the first demonstration of an artificial (photothermal) synthesis of lactic acid in an environment consisting solely of CO 2 and water. Lactic acid is, in fact, usually obtained by the introduction of additional substances, [69,70] glycerol dehydrogenation, [71,72] or carbohydrate fermentation supported by lactic acid bacteria, [73] demonstrating the unicity of PLAL-driven CO 2 RR.…”

Separation of Lactic Acid Based on Amide-Based Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents: Insights from Experiments and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

“…2,3 Lactic acid (LA) is also used as the precursor for different chemicals such as lactate, pyruvic acid, acetoin, and acrylic acid. 4 Moreover, it can also act as a monomer in the synthesis of biodegradable polylactic acid; therefore, it is a highly interesting compound for the future circular economy. 2,4 The global demand for LA is expected to reach 1960.1 kt in 2025 with its increasing applications in various end-use industries.…”
