The hydrolysis of lactic acid oligomers involves several different reactions, acid-catalyzed, base-catalyzed as well as non-catalyzed. In the present paper a pH-dependent kinetic model has been developed and its kinetic constants evaluated by fitting to experimental data of degrading lactic acid oligomers at 37 degrees C in aqueous solution at pH = 1, 2, 3.5, 5.7 and 7.4. The model was able to properly describe the experimental data with an average error of about 5%. The estimated values of the kinetic constants at the selected temperature are: k(D)(alpha) = 4.44 x 10(-3) L(2)mol(-2)h(-1), k(D)(beta) = 9.29 x 10(-4) L(2)mol(-2)h(-1) (acid-catalyzed), k(RH) = 1.56 x 10(3) L(2)mol(-2)h(-1), k(BB) = 2.88 x 10(6) Lmol(-1)h(-1) (base-catalyzed) and k(w) = 2.49 x 10(-5) Lmol(-1)h(-1) (non-catalyzed).
