ては、例えば、1価アルコール。[Prior art] Polyethers obtained by ring-opening reaction of monoepoxides such as alkylene oxides as initiators are widely used as raw materials for synthetic resins such as polyurethane, surfactants, lubricants, and other uses. . The initiator is a hydroxyl group-containing compound represented by A-(-)1)n (A: a residue obtained by removing the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of the hydroxyl group-containing compound, n: an integer of 1 or more). Examples of initiators include monohydric alcohols.

として用いられる。These include polyhydric alcohols, monohydric phenols, and polyhydric phenols. Compounds having a hydroxyalkylamine group (alkanolamines, amines-alkylene oxide adducts, etc.) are also used as initiators. Furthermore, polyethers obtained by reacting the above-mentioned initiators with monoepoxides can also be used as initiators.

A method has been proposed in which the agent is precipitated and the polyethers are filtered out (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 76028/1983).

If present, during polyurethane production, it exhibits a catalytic effect such as the reaction between polyether and polyisocyanate and the formation of allophanate groups, reducing the physical properties of the polyurethane product, so it is necessary to remove the above catalyst component from polyethers. There is. Conventionally, this purification method involves decomposing the catalyst in the polyether into ionic species using an alkaline aqueous solution, etc., then capping the hydroxyl group end of the polyether with ethylene oxide, etc. as necessary, and neutralizing it with a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid. , a method of separating the precipitate by filtration has been adopted, but since the decomposition products of the above-mentioned composite metal cyano complex precipitate as metal hydroxides with extremely poor filterability, it is difficult to separate them using general methods. This method has disadvantages such as the need to add a large amount of filter aid for improvement, and fine precipitates leak through the filtration, significantly reducing the quality of polyethers.
