Abstract

Formaldehyde polymers of high molecular weight are prepared by feeding a concentrated aqueous formaldehyde solution to a suspension of a solid polyoxymethylene in an aqueous formaldehyde solution having a formaldehyde concentration between the equilibrium concentration and the stability limit of the system at a temperature of from 0 DEG to 60 DEG C. in the presence of a strong acid having pKa<2 for each hydrogen whose concentration in the aqueous solution is kept such that the polymers prepared have an X-ray crystallinity of 100%, of which at least 50% is in the orthorhombic crystalline form and the remainder in the hexagonal crystalline form. The process may be carried out in the presence of a linear aliphatic alcohol having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the molecule, e.g. methanol, whose concentration in the liquid phase is kept at a value lower than 25% by weight of solution. The polymerization may take place in the presence of a salt of an inorganic base with a strong organic or inorganic acid having a pK<2 for each hydrogen whose concentration in the solution is kept at a value lower than or equal to the saturation concentration of the salt in the system. The products may consist of a polymeric mixture consisting of from 5 to 75% of polyoxymethylene diethers, of from 95 to 25% of polyoxymethylene glycols and polyoxymethylene-monoethers in which all of the components of the mixture have an X-ray crystallinity of 100% of which at least 50% is in the orthorhombic crystalline form and the remainder in the hexagonal crystalline form-treatment with sodium carbonate at 100-220 DEG C. gives the polyoxymethylene-diethers. The reactants may be added batchwise or continuously. In Example (1) a suspension of polyoxymethylene in an aqueous solution containing water and formaldehyde are added every hour after withdrawing the same amount by weight of suspension, formaldehyde solution and 10 N sodium hydroxide solution and every 24 hours an amount of the suspension is discharged and the polyoxymethylene recovered. Similarly, in further examples the sodium hydroxide is replaced by (2)-(12) and (25) sulphuric acid, (13)-(15) p-toluene sulphonic acid, (16)-(20) perchloric acid, (21)-(24) hydrochloric acid, (26)-(29) and (38) hydrochloric acid and methanol, (30) and (31) hydrochloric acid, methanol and sodium chloride, (32) hydrochloric acid, methanol and potassium chloride, (33)-(35) sulphuric acid and methanol, (36) and (37) perchloric acid and methanol, (39) sulphuric acid and ethanol, (40) n-propanol and sulphuric acid and (41) n-butanol and sulphuric acid.
