Abstract
A method for purifying an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms, or ethylene with an .alpha.-olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms and a nonconjugated diene compound, in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst comprising a vanadium compound, an organoaluminum compound, and a halogenated ester compound, the method including a step of mixing and stirring the polymerization reaction mixture obtained by the polymerization reaction in an aqueous alkaline solution in such an amount as to give an aqueous phase having a pH of not lower than 10.0 after mixing and stirring, is disclosed. A method for purifying an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer is also disclosed, including a step of an oxidation treatment of the polymerization reaction mixture in an aqueous alkaline solution in such an amount as to give an aqueous phase having a pH of not lower than 10.0 after the oxidation treatment.
