The invention relates to a method for synthesizing
lactide from L-
lactic acid by using
fixed bed reactors, which comprises the following steps: L-
lactic acid is sequentially introduced into two
fixed bed reactors connected in series, the two
fixed bed reactors are filled with a
silicon-substituted aluminophosphate
molecular sieve catalyst, and
nitrogen which continuously flows in and out is also introduced into the first fixed
bed reactor; and sequentially carrying out an L-
lactic acid condensation
polymerization reaction and an L-lactic acid
oligomer depolymerization reaction in two fixed
bed reactors to obtain the crude L-
lactide. According to the method, the reaction of synthesizing
lactide from L-lactic acid is realized by adopting two fixed
bed reactors connected in series,
continuous reaction is realized, and the selected catalyst is high in
carbon deposition resistance and adsorption performance, resistant to high temperature, stable in catalytic performance, not prone to coking to block a pipeline and long in service life; water molecules generated by polycondensation and evaporated L-lactic acid molecules are taken away in time by utilizing
nitrogen flow, so that the
polymerization degree of the L-lactic acid
oligomer is improved, the content of
free acid in the L-lactide is reduced, and the optical purity of the L-lactide is improved.
