    Abstract: A continuous process for producing a nylon salt solution prepared using a liquid partially balanced adipic solution enriched in dicarboxylic acid, and in particular adipic acid. The liquid feed is prepared by metering dicarboxylic acid powder, based on weight, from a loss-in-weight feeder to a feeding conduit that transfers the dicarboxylic acid powder into a vessel comprising a disperser head; feeding a first feed stream of diamine to the vessel to form a dispersion comprising between 32 wt.% and 46 wt.% dicarboxylic acid, between 11 wt.% and 15 wt.% diamine, and between 39 wt.% and 57 wt.% water, and heating the dispersion at temperature between 50C and 60C to form a partially balanced adipic solution. A nylon salt solution is prepared from the liquid partially balanced adipic solution and continuously withdrawn into a storage tank. The nylon salt solution has a uniform pH and is suitable for producing nylon polymers.
