乳酸酯具有無毒、溶解性好、不易揮發、有果香味等特點，同時可生物降解，因此極具開發與應用前景，其消?的增長很快，是理想的”綠色溶劑 ”，主要用於微電子工廠作為電路板和電子原料的清洗劑。此外，乳酸丁酯以及乳酸和其他醇類所形成的酯類，是油漆、塗料、塑料等工廠中的溶劑。乳酸酯還可用於天然樹脂、油漆、印刷油墨、乾洗液、黏著劑等。 本論文探討使用酸性陽離子交換樹脂和各無機固體酸觸媒用來於催化乳酸和醇類間的酯化反應以製造乳酸酯。在酸性陽離子交換樹脂中，以Dowex 50wx8-100觸媒催化乳酸酯化反應性能最好(乳酸丁酯產率可達89%)，而在無機固體酸觸媒中，TiO2-Al2O3觸媒有最好之催化乳酸酯化的能力(乳酸丁酯產率為95.7%)。本研究使用共沉澱法製備不同莫耳比的TiO2-ZrO2觸媒及TiO2-Al2O3觸媒，利用X射線繞射儀(XRD)、熱場發射掃描式電子顯微鏡(TFSEM)、熱重分析儀(TGA)、表面積與孔洞分析儀（BET）、能量散射光譜儀(EDS) 來對混合雙金屬氧化觸媒作特性分析，並探討酯化反應之活性和觸媒酸性之關聯性。 Esters of lactic acid are non-toxic、soluble、non-volatile and have fruit flavor. It is also biodegradable and have wide applications, particularly as regulations and consumer preferences increase the demand for “green” chemicals. They are ideal green solvents which are used as the cleaning agents for the circuit board and electronic raw material. In addition, butyl lactate and esterification of lactic acid with other alcohol are solvents for paint and plastics. Esters of lactic acid also can be used to produce natural resins、 paints、printing inks, dry lotion, adhesive and so on. The thesis uses acidic cation exchange resins and inorganic solid-acid catalysts to catalyze the esterification of lactic acid with alcohol. Among acidic cation exchange resins, Dowex 50wx8-100 had the best ester yield(butyl lactate yield was 89%).Among inorganic solid-acid catalysts, TiO2-Al2O3 had the best ester yield (butyl lactate yield was 95.7%).We used XRD、TFSEM、TGA、BET and EDS to analyze TiO2-ZrO2 and TiO2-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by co- precipitation. The correlation between esterification activity and catalyst acidic properties were investigated
