Polyisobutenes are prepared by the continuous preparation process, by polymerizing isobutene in the presence of a catalyst comprising boron trifluoride and at least one cocatalyst in an inert organic solvent,a) a part of the reaction mixture obtained thereby being discharged continuously from the polymerization reactor,b) the catalyst being separated from the discharge and/or being deactivated in the discharge, andc) the solvent and any unconverted isobutene being separated from the discharge and recycled to the polymerization reactor,wherein the recycled solvent and, if present, the isobutene are subjected to a wash with water before recycling to the polymerization reactor and are then dried. |
