Described is a continuous process for removing polyphosphoric acid from a polybenzazole dope filament, which comprises: (a) contacting the dope filament with water or a mixture of water and polyphosphoric acid under conditions sufficient to reduce the phosphorous content of the filament to less than 10,000 ppm by weight; and then (b) contacting the dope filament with an aqueous solution of an inorganic base under conditions sufficient to convert at least 50 percent of the polyphosphoric acid groups present in the filament to a salt of the base and the acid. It has been discovered that contacting the dope filament with a solution of a base after washing the filament to remove most of the residual phosphorous advantageously leads to an improvement in the initial tensile strength of the filament, as well as improved retention of tensile strength and/or molecular weight (of the polybenzazole polymer) following exposure to light and/or high temperatures.

Procédé en continu d'extraction de l'acide polyphosphoric d'un filament dopé au polybenzazole. Ce procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: (a) le filament dopé est exposé à l'eau ou à un mélange d'eau et d'acide polyphosphorique dans des conditions suffisantes pour abaisser la teneur en phosphore du filament à moins de 10,000 ppm en poids; puis (b) le filament dopé est soumis à une solution aqueuse d'une base non-organique dans des conditions suffisantes pour convertir au moins 50 % des groupes acides polyphosphoriques présents dans le filament en un sel de la base et de l'acide. On a constaté que le fait de soumettre un filament à une solution de base après l'avoir lavé pour extraire la plus grande partie du phosphore résiduel entraîne une amélioration de la résistance initiale à la traction de ce filament ainsi qu'une amélioration de la préservation de la résistance à la traction et/ou du poids moléculaire (du polymère polybenzazole) après une exposition à la lumière et/ou à des températures élevées.
