Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer, which comprises hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bonds of a conjugated diene polymer in a solvent using a supported catalyst composed of a hydrogenating catalyst supported on a carbon carrier having an average particle diameter of 5 mμ to 10μ and a specific surface area of 5 to 2000 m 2 /g, and after the hydrogenation reaction has been completed, separating and recovering the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer from the solution of the hydrogenated polymer without separating the catalyst therefrom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A process for producing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer, which comprises hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bonds of a polymer prepared by polymerizing 10 to 100% by weight of a conjugated diene monomer and 90 to 0% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in a solvent using a supported catalyst composed of a hydrogenating catalyst comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Os, Pt, Ag and Au and supported on a carbon carrier having an average particle diameter of 5 mμ to 10μ and a specific surface area of 5 to 2000 m 2 /g. and after the hydrogenation reaction has been completed, separating and recovering the hydrogenated polymer from the solution of the hydrogenated polymer without previously separating the catalyst from the solution, thereby creating an polymer containing said catalyst therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A process for producing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer, which comprises hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bonds of a polymer prepared by polymerizing 10 to 100% by weight of a conjugated diene monomer and 90 to 0% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in a solvent using a supported catalyst composed of a hydrogenating catalyst comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Os, Pt, Ag and Au and supported on a carbon carrier having an average particle diameter of 5 mμ to 10μ and a specific surface area of 5 to 2000 m 2 /g. and after the hydrogenation reaction has been completed, separating and recovering the hydrogenated polymer from the solution of the hydrogenated polymer without previously separating the catalyst from the solution, thereby creating an polymer containing said catalyst therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the carbon carrier is a carbon black produced by the channel process or furnace process.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrogenating catalyst is composed of both Pd and at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements of Groups Ia, IIa, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, VIa and VIIa of the periodic table, Ag, Au, Sb and Te.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of the carrier-supported catalyst is not more than 2000 ppm, as the element supported, based on the conjugated diene polymer.
