Densities, speed of sound, and IR studies of Ethyl lactate with 2-alkoxyethanols at different temperatures

“…Moreover, ethyl lactate has replaced solvents such as toluene, acetone xylene, N-methyl pyrrolidone and several harmful and halogenated chemicals. From a productive viewpoint, the replacement of traditional solvents by EL is clearly advisable considering that the recently developed technologies [9][10][11] allow its production from carbohydrate feed stocks at very low and competitive prices.…”

Semicontinuous distillation for ethyl lactate production

“…Several methods of production have been explored, such as batch distillation with a reactive still,13 reaction with integrated pervaporation,14 and reaction with vapor permeation 15. A conceptual, continuous, reactive‐distillation (RD) process has been proposed16 and recently verified experimentally 17. In this article, a novel SD process is proposed and simulated for the production of ethyl lactate and recovery from its reaction mixture.…”
