- Methanol, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol can dissolve a lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer having a low molecular weight in addition to a dimer such as lactide or glycolide contained in the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (A1). Therefore, when these are used as the solvent (S2), the molecular weight distribution in which the content of the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer having a small molecular weight is reduced is narrow, that is, the weight average molecular weight / number average molecular weight (Mw / Mn) is small. A highly purified lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (A2) can be obtained.

工程(2-A)は、前記工程(1-2)で作製された混合液、典型的には前記工程(1-2-A)で作製された混合溶液を、水及び脂肪族アルコール(B2)から選ばれる少なくとも1つの溶媒(S2)に添加、好ましくは滴下して、精製乳酸-グリコール酸共重合体(A2)またはその塩を析出、好ましくは粉末状に析出させる。前記工程(1-2)を経て得られた混合溶液を溶媒(S2)に添加、好ましくは滴下することにより、精製乳酸-グリコール酸共重合体(A2)またはその塩が水飴状ではなく、析出、好ましくは粉末状で析出させることができる。そのため、その後の回収、乾燥等が容易となるだけではなく、乳酸-グリコール酸共重合体に取り込まれている乳酸-グリコール酸共重合体と親和性が高い非常に分子量が小さい成分、例えば、ラクタイド、グリコライドなどの二量体や、それら二量体が加水分解した乳酸、グリコール酸などのモノマーなどを溶媒(S2)に溶出させ、精製乳酸-グリコール酸共重合体(A2)またはその塩から除去することも可能となる。
