Abstract: A process for refining glycolide includes a step of extracting impurities from a crude glycolide with solvent A, and then a step of recrystallizing with solvent B. Solvent A includes at least two solvents and the solvents are miscible each other. In the process, two types of polar solvents are used for the refining of crude glycolide. The process has a good extraction effect on acidic impurities such as glycolic acid oligomers. The solvents are easily fully removed during the solid-liquid separation and the drying process. Glycolide obtained using this process may have a low free acid content.
