  • Patent number: 10975196
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying polyalkylene carbonate. More specifically, a method for purifying polyalkylene carbonate is provided, which uses a multistage extraction column having the number of stages of at least 10 stages, using water for effectively removing by-products such as alkylene carbonate generated in a process for producing polyalkylene carbonate resin, thereby controlling the content of by-products to a certain level or less through a continuous operation, particularly, the extraction is performed at room temperature, thereby easily removing by-products in the resin without a high temperature volatilization.
