Claims4
A method for treating a solution which comprises a water-soluble organic polymer and an organic compound selected from the group consisting of methyl acetate and methanol, said method comprising the steps of (a) supplying said solution and water to a distillation zone having a top region and a bottom region with the amount of water being selected so the weight ratio of water to solid at the bottom region is between 60:40 and 99:1, (b) carrying out distillation to distill off and recover the organic compound as an aqueous solution at the top region, (c) obtaining a waste product comprising an aqueous solution comprising said polymer at said bottom region and (d) incinerating the aqueous solution comprising said polymer.
