Description

Polyglycolide is a high molecular material with biodegradability and excellent gas cutting barrier property, and the polyglycolide and the poly (lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer have important positions in many fields of operation suture lines, artificial skin and blood vessels, bone fixation and repair, drug controlled release and the like.
Usually, high molecular weight polyglycolide is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of high purity glycolide.
On the other hand, in general, glycolide is obtained by depolymerizing a glycolic acid oligomer or a methyl glycolate oligomer, and the glycolide obtained in this way contains impurities, and the glycolic acid impurities include: methanol, glycolic acid or methyl glycolate monomers, glycolic acid dimers, and the like. Patent CN103664866 mentions that the presence of water enables hydrolysis of glycolide to give glycolic acid and hydrolytic cleavage of the polyglycolide molecular chains; the presence of an acidic substance such as glycolic acid or a dimer thereof degrades glycolic acid molecular chains by acid hydrolysis. Therefore, the impurity-containing glycolide needs to be purified and refined before being used.
There are many purification methods, and US patent nos. 5223630, CN100999516, and CN101054371 describe recrystallization purification using various solvents, such as ethyl acetate, isopropanol, carbon tetrachloride, etc. Namely, the glycolide is purified by a solvent recrystallization method, the recrystallization purification operation is simple, and the process is mature. However, the purity of the glycolide obtained by primary recrystallization is not high, and multiple recrystallization is needed to obtain a glycolide product with high purity, so that the yield of the glycolide is generally low, and the solvent needs to be recycled, thereby increasing the equipment investment and the energy consumption.
