PLA hydrolysis modelling using Aspen Plus v12.0?

07 January 2025 0 5K Report

Hi,

I am trying to model PLA chemical recycling model by hydrolysis to Lactic acid in Aspen Plus. But I am struggling as PLA is not included in database. Could anyone please help me saying how can I add PLA (is it NC or polymer) and provide the detailed property? and which method will be suitable for the modelling?

Thanks in advance.
