Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrial method for producing a crosslinked gel or polymer containing an alkylated N-, amino-, ammonium-or spiro bicyclic or ammonium group. SOLUTION: The method comprises a step (a) polymerizing a corresponding monomer and adjusting pH of the aqueous solution of the obtained polymer at pH of 7.5-14 and at 0-90°C and carrying out a preliminary crosslinking under agitation by adding a crosslinking agent, and transferring the precured polymer into a container for curing, (b) cutting the cured crude gel into a specified shape, (c) washing with methanol in batch process in a fixed bed or agitating bed, (d) carrying out alkylation in methanol at 5-90°C under 1-3 bar by adding more than one kind of alkylating agents, a base or in some cases reprotonation, (e) washing the alkylated gel in the batch process or continuously in a fixed bed or agitating bed with methanol/NaCl and then (f) washing with NaCl and then with deionized water.
