Design and Economic Assessment of Alternative Evaporation Processes for Poly-Lactic Acid Production

In this work, alternative evaporation processes for PLA production were designed with economic assessment. The suggested processes are the multiple-effect evaporation (MEE) process and thermal vapor recompression (TVR)-assisted evaporation process. First, the MEE process can efficiently reuse waste...
