Abstract: The aim of this review is to describe the research in the production of lactic acid from biomass and its transformation to commodity chemicals mainly since 2002. The following reactions will be discussed in detail: catalytic production of lactic acid or alkyl lactates using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts (section 2), catalytic transformation of lactic acid or alkyl lactates via hydrogenation to 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), dehydrogenation to pyruvic acid, dehydration to acrylic acid, decarbonylation and decarboxylation to acetaldehyde, condensation of lactic acid to 2,3-pentanedione, and esterification (section 3), excluding, however, polymerization. The main emphasis is on elucidation of catalyst properties, the stability of catalysts and their reuse, and reaction conditions and mechanisms in the production of both lactic acid and its derivatives in the presence of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Furthermore, kinetic modeling and reactor technologies are also discussed in catalytic hydrogenation of lactic acid as well as in its esterification.
