Patent number: 8420772Abstract: The present invention relates to a semi-aromatic polyamide and a method for preparing it with low wastewater discharge. The semi-aromatic polyamide for the present invention is obtained by introducing aromatic dicarboxylic acid, aliphatic diamine containing 4˜14 carbon atoms and the wastewater generated during the previous prepolymerization into an autoclave for prepolymerization reaction and then further polymerizing the prepolymer. In this preparation method, the wastewater generated during polymerization is recycled, thus greatly reducing the wastewater discharge; the raw materials in the wastewater are effectively recycled, thus improving the utilization rate of raw materials; meanwhile, the diamine in the wastewater compensates that lost along with water discharge during prepolymerization, thus ensuring the Mole ratio balance between dicarboxylic acid monomer and diamine monomer.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignees: Kingfa Science & Technology Co., Ltd, Shanghai Kingfa Science & Technology Co., LtdInventors: Min Cao, Shiyong Xia, Xianbo Huang, Tongmin Cai, Xiangbin Zeng
