Abstract:
A method of impregnating and purifying polylactic acid (PLA), wherein PLA resin beads are subjected to a liquid C02treatment, which involves impregnation and extraction comprising at least one impregnation and extraction step, in which the PLA resin beads are brought into contact with 0,01 -1000 kg pure liquid C02 /kg PLA in a reactor for a predetermined time period, at a temperature and pressure that prevents the beads from sticking together and foaming, and - a portion of the liquid C02 is drained from the PLA beads after completion of the impregnation and extraction step, at a temperature that prevents the beads from sticking together and foaming, and at which the C02 is in liquid form, while leaving at least 0,01 kg liquid C02/kg PLA, preferably 0,01-1 kg liquid C02/kg PLA in the reactor containing the PLA resin beads, followed by evacuation of C02 gas from the reactor so as to decrease the pressure to ambient pressure, whereby the remaining liquid C02 is evaporated, thereby decreasing the temperature so as to prevent foaming at ambient pressure.
