ABSTRACT:
Amine functional polymers are purified to remove formate present by contact with a supported Group VIII metal hydrogen transfer catalyst under conditions favoring formate decomposition to carbon dioxide and hydrogen which are removed as gases. The preferred catalyst is palladium on carbon. Essentially salt-free poly(vinylamines) can be obtained by hydrolysis of polymers of N-vinylformamide in aqueous solution using ammonia or a volatile amine as a hydrolysis agent so that formate salts are the principal by-product of the hydrolysis which creates amine functionality in the polymer. Formate can then by removed by the catalytic decomposition described. Removal of carbon dioxide is enhanced by degassing the hydrolyzate prior to formate decomposition and by nitrogen purge of the polymer solution during the catalytic decomposition reaction.
