<p>Process for recovering lactic acid from aqueous media which contain it, characterised in that said aqueous medium is treated at a pH value in the range from 1 to 6 with a system comprising a complexing agent and an organic extractant selective for lactic acid, said system being more specifically defined as comprising: a) a complexing agent comprising at least one macrocyclic octol with crown configuration, with substituents in axial configuration, dissolved in b) at least one organic solvent immiscible with water, selected from among the saturated, optionally halogenated, (cyclo)alkane hydrocarbons; optionally halogenated and/or alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons; petroleum ether, the organic phase, constituted by the lactic acid-octol complex dissolved in the organic solvent, is separated from the aqueous phase, and the organic phase is subsequently treated with an aqueous liquid, preferably water, at a pH value in the range from 7 to 10 or with methanol, with lactic acid being thus released from the complex and said lactic acid being then recovered by means of techniques known from the prior art.</p> |
