2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid Production Cost Analysis 2021
2-Hydroxypropanoic acid or lactic acid is an organic acid. In appearance, it is white in solid-state and is miscible with water. In a liquid state, it is a colourless solution. The manufacturing of this chemical compound involves both artificial synthesis as well as natural sources. Lactic acid is also known as alpha-hydroxy acid or AHA.
Lactic acid is nearly ten times as acidic as acetic acid. Lactic acid is chiral with two enantiomers known as l-(+)-lactic acid or (S)-lactic acid and d-(−)-lactic acid or (R)-lactic acid. Lactic acid is hygroscopic. Lactic acid is manufactured commercially by the bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates. It is manufactured by the fermentation of milk, often with racemic, although certain species of bacteria produce solely (R)-lactic acid. It is also produced by chemical synthesis, using acetaldehyde that comes from coal or crude oil.
