A process for recycling polyoxymethylene polymers is disclosed. A polyoyxmethylene polymer is at least partially dissolved in an aprotic compound. The resulting solution or suspension (liquid mixture) is then contacted with a catalyst which causes the polyoxymethylene polymer to be converted into a cyclic acetal. The cyclic acetal can be separated, collected and used in other processes. In one embodiment, the cyclic acetal may be used to produce a polyoxymethylene polymer. |

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of oxymethylene polymers as well as oxymethylene polymers obtainable therefrom. The process includes polymerization of a monomer, which forms —CH2—O— units in the presence of an acetal of formaldehyde or a polyhydric alcohol and an initiator for cationic polymerization. The initiator may be a heteropoly acid or an acid salt thereof which is dissolved in an alkyl ester of a polybasic carboxylic acid. |
