Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a process for efficiently purifying a styrenic polymer which comprises adding a poor solvent alone or in combination with a swelling agent to a syndiotactic polystyrene produced by the use of a catalyst comprising (A) an aluminoxane or a coordination complex compound comprising a cation and an anion in which a plurality of radicals are bonded to a metal and (B) a transition metal compound, and treating the polystyrene under a controlled water content of 15 to 10,000 ppm to simultaneously carry out deactivation and deashing. The above process can efficiently remove residual metals without using a deashing agent and afford a highly pure high-grade crystalline styrenic polymer excellent in color tone.
