Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to a refining process for removing impurities from 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) by the use of a composite salt; and a process for preparing an aromatic polyamide having a high polymerization degree from an aromatic diisocyanate and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid by using, as a reaction solvent, DMI purified by the above-mentioned process.
