how can we separate latic acid from milk?

Separating whey and acids is a process commonly used in making soured milk products, such as sour cream and yogurt, or to create milk curds for cottage cheese or cheese. Separating whey and acids from milk can also be called "curdling." Whey is the leftover liquid after milk has been curdled and separates into solids and liquids. The most common acid componet of milk is lactic acid, which is the acid that curdles milk. Curdling milk & separating the whey from the solids can be done at home.
