A method is provided for removing a catalyst from the product of a catalyzed aliphatic polycarbonate polymerization reaction. The disclosure provides, in part, a method for removing a catalyst from the product of a catalyzed aliphatic polycarbonate polymerization reaction. The disclosure provides, in part, a method for removing catalyst from the product of a catalyzed aliphatic polycarbonate polymerization reaction. In one embodiment, the catalyst is a metal ligand complex. In one aspect, the crude product contains poly (propylene carbonate) (“PPC”). Although various aspects of the disclosure herein are illustrated through the use of PPC, the purpose of the present disclosure is to extend the procedures and methods to various aliphatic polycarbonates.
