C., and, if appropriate, their anhydride groups are hydrolyzed, the monomers (a) and (b) being employed in a form such that from 20 to 80% of their amount is neutralized during the polymerization reaction, wherein the copolymerization is carried out continuously in a reactor cascade comprising several reactors, and an aqueous solution of a pre-prepared copolymer of (a), (b) and, if appropriate, (c) is initially introduced into all the reactors and heated to the required reaction temperature, the total amount of unneutralized or partially neutralized (a), not less than 40% by weight of unneutralized or partially neutralized (b), where relevant, all or some of (c), and some or all of the amount of initiator required for polymerization, with or without the amount of neutralizing agent required for the neutralization according to the definition, are metered into the first reactor, the remaining amount of unneutralized or neutralized (b) and, where relevant, (c), and any remaining amount of initiator and neutralizing agent which may be required are introduced into the second reactor or are distributed over the second reactor and the downstream reactors, and the reactants are allowed to react together during a residence time of from 0.5 to 8 hours. The above copolymers can be used as incrustation inhibitors or for scaling inhibition.

摘要:
Organic polyacids are prepared from monomeric monofunctional acids, such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and monomers without an acid group, with or without dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, by continuous free radical mass copolymerization under superatmospheric pressure at from 200.degree. to 400.degree. C., followed, if desired, by neutralization of the polyacids obtained. The polyacids obtained by the novel process are useful as phosphate substitutes and scale inhibitors in detergents and cleansers.

Water-soluble polymer powders are prepared by polymerizing water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomers in a powder bed in the presence of polymerization initiators and water while maintaining the powder state, removing the heat of polymerization by distilling off water and circulating the reaction mixture, by a process in which water-insoluble organic peroxides which are liquid at 20.degree. C. are used alone or as a mixture with up to 50% by weight, based on the initiator mixture, of water-soluble, organic azo initiators and/or water-insoluble solid peroxy-containing compounds, as polymerization initiators.
