See full text

A process for the continuous production of substantially purified lactide and lactide polymers from an ester of lactic acid including the steps of forming crude lactide in the presence of a catalyst means to form a condensation reaction by-product and polylactic acid and depolymerizing the polylactic acid molecules followed by subsequent purification of the crude lactide in a distillation system. A purified lactide is then polymerized.
