AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional methods for preparing ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers face inefficiencies in removing impurities and catalyst residues, leading to increased wastewater generation and reduced production efficiency.

Method used

A method involving saponification of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with an alkali catalyst and a C1-4 alcohol solvent, followed by concentrating the reaction mixture, cooling to form a cake, pulverizing it into crumb, and washing with water to achieve high-purity ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer.

Benefits of technology

This method enhances production efficiency and minimizes wastewater generation by achieving high-purity ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer through a simpler and more effective washing process.
