To provide a process for producing a fluorinated copolymer, capable of efficiently reusing for polymerization, an unreacted monomer recovered from a mixture containing the fluorinated copolymer and the unreacted monomer.
A process for producing a fluorinated copolymer, which comprises (I) a step of polymerizing a fluorinated monomer having a carboxylic acid functional group or a sulfonic acid functional group and a fluorinated olefin in a polymerization medium in the presence of a polymerization initiator to obtain a mixture containing a fluorinated copolymer, the unreacted monomer and the polymerization medium, (II) a step of continuously or intermittently transferring the mixture to an evaporation container equipped with a stirring machine and heating the mixture in the evaporation container with stirring to evaporate and recover the unreacted monomer and the polymerization medium, and in addition, (III) a step of heating the recovered mixed liquid to decompose the polymerization initiator.
