Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Corbion process. In this process, the fermentation broth is acidified in order to recover Lactic Acid and the product purification is realized by the use of a solvent. The process generates an 88 wt% Lactic Acid solution in water as final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) EP Patent 1220827, issued to Purac (now Corbion) in 2006 (2) US Patent 6747173, issued to Purac (now Corbion) in 2004 Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Calcium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid
