Process for removing the catalyst remnants from polymers of carbon monoxide with ethene and optionally also one or more other olefinically unsaturated hydrocarbons, which polymers have been prepared in the presence of an organic palladium phosphine catalyst, characterized in that a suspension of the polymer in an organic liquid is contacted with at least 0.25 mol of a bidentate ligand phosphine per gram atom of palladium present in the polymers, which phosphine has the general formula R<1>R<2>-P-R-P-R<3>R<4>, wherein R<1>, R<2>, R<3> and R<4> represent hydrocarbon groups which may or may not be substituted with polar groups and R represents a bivalent organic bridging group containing at least two carbon atoms in the bridge. |
