The invention relates to a method for continuously producing poly (p-dioxanone), which comprises the following steps: premixing
glycollic acid or a
glycollic acid derivative with a ring formation catalyst, and introducing the obtained mixed material and
ethylene oxide into a synthesis reaction kettle for reaction; separating and purifying the obtained
reaction product, introducing the obtained purified
monomer into a
polymerization reaction kettle, and adding a
polymerization catalyst for
polymerization; after polymerization is finished, discharging is conducted, residual materials in the polymerization reaction kettle are subjected to
depolymerization treatment to clean the kettle body, after
depolymerization is finished,
depolymerization products generated in the depolymerization treatment process are discharged, the kettle does not need to be opened for cleaning, and the next round of polymerization production is directly conducted. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the steps of synthesizing the p-dioxanone
monomer, separating and purifying the
monomer, catalyzing and polymerizing, depolymerizing and cleaning the kettle body and the like are continuously carried out, so that the
continuous production of the poly (p-dioxanone) is realized, the
side reaction of oligomerization and degradation of the p-dioxanone in storage and transportation can be avoided, and the production cost of the poly (p-dioxanone) is obviously reduced.
