A process for producing a chloromethylated polymer by reacting styrene polymer particles with chloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of a catalyst, characterized in that hydrogen chloride is added to the reaction product mixture, followed by distillation to recover a distillate mixture containing chloromethyl methyl ether. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A process for producing a chloromethylated polymer by reacting styrene polymer particles with chloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of a catalyst, characterized in that hydrogen chloride is added to the reaction product mixture in an amount of from 0.
5 to 10 molar times relative to the chloromethyl methyl ether remaining in said reaction product mixture, followed by distillation to recover a distillate mixture containing chloromethyl methyl ether.
2.
The process according to claim 1, wherein the hydrogen chloride is added as 20-35 wt.
% hydrochloric acid solution.
3.
The process according to claim 1, wherein the hydrogen chloride is added as hydrogen chloride gas.
4.
The process according to claim 1, wherein the chloromethyl methyl ether recovered by the distillation is recycled for use in the chloromethylation reaction of the styrene polymer particles.
5.
The process according to claim 2, wherein the distillate mixture is separated by liquid separation into an oil phase containing chloromethyl methyl ether and an aqueous phase containing hydrogen chloride, and the oil phase containing the chloromethyl methyl ether is recycled for use in the chloromethylation reaction of the styrene polymer particles.
6.
The process according to claim 5, wherein the aqueous phase containing hydrogen chloride is reused as the hydrogen chloride which is added to the reaction product mixture.
7.
The process according to claim 1, wherein the chloromethylation reaction is conducted in the presence of an organic solvent.
8.
The process according to claim 1, wherein the styrene polymer particles are styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer particles.
9.
The process according to claim 1, wherein a reaction product obtained by the reaction of methanol, formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride, is separated into an oil phase containing chloromethyl methyl ether and an aqueous phase containing hydrogen chloride, the oil phase is used as the chloromethyl methyl ether which is reacted with the styrene polymer particles, and the aqueous phase is used as the hydrogen chloride which is added to the reaction product mixture
