METHOD FOR INCREASING THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF A POLYMER GRANULATE

摘要

The invention relates to a polymer granulate from a polycondensation unit. Said granulate is at least partially crystallised and brought into direct contact with a nitrogen-containing treatment gas in a postcondensation. Compared to the granulate from the polycondensation unit, the temperature of the polymer granulate in the postcondensation increases to between 175 and 250 DEG . Nitrogen-containing waste gas from the polycondensation unit is mixed with the treatment gas in a volume ratio from 1:1 to 1:1000 before being guided into the postcondensation.
