<p>The invention relates to a method for the removal of the cyclic diester of a 2-hydroxy alkanoic acid from a vapor containing said diester, wherein the vapor is contacted with an aqueous solution so that the diester dissolves in said solution. According to the invention, the method is characterized in that the solution is an alkaline solution, preferably having a pH above 10. The problem of the formation of slurries of the diester in the aqueous solutions can be prevented by the present invention. The method can be applied with great advantage in the production or conversion of lactide.</p> |
