Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a water-soluble dicarboxylic acid imide compound which comprises adding a primary amine compound to an aqueous solution of a water-soluble salt of a dicarboxylic acid compound containing at least one dicarboxylic acid unit capable of forming a 5-membered cyclic acid imide linkage and heating the mixture to introduce an acid imide linkage into the molecule.
