Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a process for the reduction of residual acidity of halogenated polymer. The process involves treating the halogenated polymer to a physical process such as rotary vacuum drying and then neutralizing the treated halogenated polymer with alkaline metal salt solutions. The process requires less quantity of an economic neutralizing agent/base during chemical treatment, thus improving process economy without prejudicing quality of the final halogenated polymer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A process for the reduction of residual acidity of a halogenated polymer, said process comprising: i. subjecting the halogenated polymer to rotary vacuum drying; and ii. neutralizing the rotary vacuum dried halogenated polymer with alkaline metal salt solution. 2 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary vacuum drying is carried out for a period of 1-3 hours, at a temperature in the range of 20 to70° C. and under a vacuum in the range of 1 to 3 torr. 3 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the alkaline metal salt solution is a hydroxide of an alkaline metal selected from the group consisting of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Beryllium (Be), Strontium (Sr) and Barium (Ba). 4 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the residual acidity of the halogenated polymer is reduced to 2000 ppm and below, simultaneously maintaining yellowness index of the halogenated polymer to 3.5 and below, during the process. 5 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary vacuum dried halogenated polymer is neutralised with 0.005M to 0.02M calcium hydroxide solution at a temperature in the range of 20 to 40° C. 6 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the halogenated polymer is chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC).
