The process relates to the removal of copper contaminants from crude polyacetylenes containing up to 30 wt. % copper impurity by contacting a melt of the polyacetylene with aqueous hydrogen chloride to form an oil phase and an aqueous acid phase, separating said phases, treating the separated oil phase with from about 1 to about 10 volumes of water until subsequent oil and water phases are formed, agitating the separated oil phase while cooling to form a particulate product and drying said particles to recover purified polyacetylene.
