- finely divided aspartic acid is polycondensed in a moving powder bed at temperatures of approximately 180 to 250 ° C. while water is distilled off, the particle size not exceeding 150 ⁇ m.
- the polymerization proceeds in the solid phase without the aspartic acid crystals melting. Therefore, no sticky phases occur in the course of the polycondensation.
- the reaction products can be used without further workup or purification steps.

- the object of the invention is to provide a process for the production of polycondensates of aspartic acid, in which polymers with better biodegradability are obtained than by known production processes.
- the object is achieved according to the invention with a process for the preparation of polycondensates of aspartic acid with improved biodegradability if fine-particle aspartic acid is polycondensed by thermal polycondensation in a solid phase at temperatures of 180 to 250 ° C. to such an extent that up to a maximum of 70 % By weight of the theoretically possible amount of water which is formed in the polycondensation is removed from the reaction mixture.
- the polycondensates of aspartic acid obtainable in this way are used as additives for washing and cleaning agents.
