Abstract

PURPOSE:To remarkably simply and effectively deactivate a polymerization catalyst by adding a specified ion adsorbent to an acetal (co)polymer synthesized in the presence of a cationic polymerization catalyst and then carrying out heat treatment at a specified temperature. CONSTITUTION:Formaldehyde or its cyclic oligomer is initially homopolymerized or copolymerized with a monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of a cationic polymerization catalyst to obtain an acetal (co)polymer. An ion adsorbent composed mainly of two or more oxides selected from alkaline (earth) metal oxides, trivalent and tetravalent element oxides or another ion adsorbent of the formula (M1 is alkaline earth metal; M2 is trivalent metal; A<n-> is n valent anion; x is 0-0.5; n is positive number) is then added to the above-obtained polymer in an amount of 0.01-5wt.%. Heat treatment is subsequently carried out at the melting point of the abovementioned polymer-270 deg.C, thus carrying out the objective deactivation of the polymerization catalyst.

(Prior art) An acetal polymer or copolymer is produced by polymerization using formaldehyde or its cyclic oligomer as a main monomer, or by copolymerization with a comonomer that can be copolymerized with the main monomer thereof, using a cationically active polymerization catalyst. It is known to obtain them, and various methods are known. Among these, bulk polymerization using substantially no solvent, or bulk polymerization using 20% or less of a solvent with respect to the monomer, is an industrially desirable method. Furthermore, in order to prevent depolymerization of the acetal polymer or acecool copolymer assembly obtained by polymerization, it is necessary to deactivate the polymerization catalyst.

As a basic neutralizing agent, for example, JP-A-58-34819
The publication proposes a method using triethylamine, tributylamine, and calcium hydroxide. but,
The disadvantage of using a large amount of deactivating solvent, which is equal to or more than the same weight as the polymer, is that it requires separation of the solvent and polymer and recovery of the solvent, making the deactivation process extremely complicated. Therefore, it is difficult to say that it is an industrially advantageous method.

Thirty minutes after the addition of the polymerization catalyst, 100 parts by weight of water containing 1% triethylamine was added to a 51-volume Nigu, stirred for 1 hour to deactivate the catalyst, and the contents were taken out. Shattered. The finely ground polymer was filtered, washed with acetone and dried.

After stabilizing the melt at 00°C and 150 torr, the reduced viscosity and ST value were measured. Furthermore, after melt stabilization, the polymers were molded using a normal injection molding machine, and the coloring conditions were compared with the naked eye. The results are shown in Table 2.
