ABSTRACT:
A process for sulfonating polymers which are prepared by solution polymerization using a Friedel-Crafts or Ziegler-type catalyst is disclosed. The reactor effluent containing polymer, unreacted light monomers, diluent-solvent and active catalyst is first treated to remove substantially all unreacted light monomer, e.g. by flashing. The effluent is then treated with a sulfonating agent (e.g. acetyl sulfate and acetic acid) which simultaneously deactivates catalyst. Thereafter, the sulfonated polymer is neutralized, e.g. by exposure to metal salts, organic amines, etc., and subjected to normal finishing operations, e.g. deashing, steam stripping, stabilizing and drying.
