Polyvinylpyrrolidone composition and processes for its production

Abstract

A polyvinylpyrrolidone composition in a form of a solid preparation or an aqueous solution, the composition including polyvinylpyrrolidone, ammonia, and a secondary amine, and processes for producing the polyvinylpyrrolidone composition, the first process including heat drying a polyvinylpyrrolidone aqueous solution containing ammonia and a secondary amine to obtain the polyvinylpyrrolidone in a form of a solid preparation, the second process including adding a secondary amine to an aqueous solution containing polyvinylpyrrolidone and ammonia to obtain the polyvinylpyrrolidone composition in a form of an aqueous solution, and the third process including polymerizing N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone using hydrogen peroxide as a polymerization initiator in a presence of a metal catalyst using ammonia as a promoter in an aqueous medium to obtain the polyvinylpyrrolidone composition in a form of an aqueous solution.
