Problems solved by technology

[0008] According to the public documents of the existing polylactic acid melt / solid phase polycondensation, the reaction is slow, the reaction time is long, and its reaction rate is difficult to meet the requirements of industrialization, which needs to be improved urgently.
[0009] At the same time, polylactic acid has slow crystallization, low melting point and poor heat resistance
Although the crystallization rate of polylactic acid can be improved by adding a crystallization accelerator through melt blending, the energy consumption of the secondary melt blending is high, which increases the cost of polylactic acid manufacturing.

Abstract

The invention discloses a melt / solid-phase polycondensation preparation method of a polylactic acid material with high molecular weight and high crystallinity. The method comprises the following steps: adding 0.1-1% of protonic acid catalyst into the aqueous solution of lactic acid or the mixed solution of the aqueous solution of lactic acid and the silica nano particle silica sol containing 0.1-10% of lactic acid by weight, and dehydrating; performing an oligomerization reaction; adding 0.1-1% of lewis acid catalyst for a melt polycondensation reaction; adding 0-5% of crystallization accelerator, mixing uniformly and granulating, and crystallizing in an inert gas flow; and finally performing a solid-phase polycondensation reaction in the inert gas flow to obtain polylactic acid with high molecular weight and high crystallinity. In the invention, as two catalysts with different properties are added at different steps, the dehydration time is shortened, racemization is suppressed and the molecular weight and crystallinity of an oligomer are improved; moreover, the crystallization accelerator is introduced in situ, and thus the crystallinity and melting point of the polylactic acid are improved at low cost; and finally the heat resistance is improved. The invention is favorable for realizing industrialization.
