This process is carried out at temperatures under 200 °C, at which point an entropically favoured lactide monomer is generated. This process generates water equivalent to each esterification step. The water needs to be removed either by using a vacuum or through azeotropic distillation to promote...

In the case of simple distillation, isopropyl alcohol forms a solution that is 87.9% by weight isopropyl alcohol and the rest is water. This is an azeotropic solution and has a common boiling point of the mixture. Thus, to obtain pure isopropyl alcohol, we need to carry out azeotropic disti...
