Abstract

The extraction of lactic acid from technological solutions by different extracting agents and their mixtures was studied. It was established that the most effective extraction of lactic acid is reached in systems with mixtures of trioctylamine and tributyl phosphate. The reextraction of lactic acid from the organic phase is performed by water.
