Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from lactose using a fermentation process. In this process, a lactose solution is used as raw material. Lactic Acid purification is realized via ion exchange and product concentration is accomplished by reverse osmosis and evaporation. A 50 wt% Lactic Acid solution in water is generated as final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) González, M. I., et al., “Purification of Lactic Acid from Fermentation Broths by Ion-Exchange Resins” (2) Perez, S. S., et al., “Production of Lactic Acid from Cheese Whey by Batch Cultures of Lactobacillus Helveticus” Keywords: 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Cell Recycle, Cation Exchange Resin, Anion Exchange Resin
