CONTINUOUS METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYAMIDES

摘要

Disclosed is a continuous method for producing polyamides, the oligomers or mixtures thereof, optionally with other reaction products, by reacting aminonitriles or dinitriles and diamines or mixtures thereof, optionally along with additional polyamide-forming monomers and/or oligomers, with an aqueous medium comprising aqueous monomer extracts or oligomer extracts which are obtained when extracting the polymer with water during the production of polyamides. Said reaction is carried out in a reactor which has a vertical longitudinal axis and is penetrated essentially in the longitudinal direction. According to the inventive method, water and/or the aqueous medium is/are introduced into the reactor at least at two different points located along the vertical longitudinal axis thereof, the aqueous medium being introduced at least at one point.
