  • Method of purifying lactic acid by crystallization
    Patent number: 8471062
    Abstract: Method for purifying lactic acid by crystallization in one or a plurality of steps, characterized in that crystals are formed from an impure aqueous lactic acid solution having a color of >500 Hazen, at a concentration between 85 and 95% by controlling the lactic acid oligomer content expressed in terms of a relative monomer content greater than 80% and controlling the degree of supersaturation of the solution between 1 and 60% in order to obtain lactic acid crystals having a specific surface area by mass of <0.05 m2/g.
