Solution Polymeriza Tion of Methyl-methacrylate at High Conversion in a Recycle Tubular Reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The kinetics of the solution polymerization of methyl-methacrylate is characterized by a strong increase of viscosity up to 6 orders of magnitude and auto-acceleration of the reaction rate due to the gel-effect. This can lead to thermal and kinetic reactor instabilities. The kinetics were determined separately using a differential scanning calorimeter and described with a modified published model. The model predictions are verified in pilot plant experiments in a temperature range from 130-170 “C.

Design of tubular reactors in recycle systems
The article presents an approach to design tubular reactors in recycle systems, based on non-linear analysis. A pseudohomogeneous plug-flow reactor model is used. It is assumed that the separation unit delivers product and recycle streams with fixed composition. The stand-alone reactor has a unique stable steady state. The coupled reactor /separation /recycle system shows four types of conversi...
متن کاملDesign and Control of Gas-Phase Reactor/Recycle Processes with Reversible Exothermic Reactions
A gas-phase reactor with reversible exothermic reactions is the classical example of the many tradeoffs between operating costs and capital costs. Because per-pass conversion is limited by chemical equilibrium, recycle is almost always needed, and this gas recycle is expensive because of the high capital cost and high energy cost of gas compression. At low temperatures, conversion is limited by...

متن کاملStyrene Maleic Anhydride Copolymerization in a Recycle Tubular Reactor: Reactor Stability and Product Quality
Ahstrct-Styrene maleic anhydride copolymers (SMACs) are of particular commercial and academic interest. The bulk copolymer&&ion reaction is characterized by a very fast reaction rate and an important gel effect. The copolymer has a strong tendency to be alternate when maleic anhydride is in excess. In order to obtain a copolymer with less than 50% of incorporated MA, a good quality of mixing mu...
متن کاملReactor modeling and kinetic parameters estimation for diethylbenzene (DEB) dehydrogenation reactions
Divinylbenzene (DVB) is produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of DEB at high temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ethylvinylbenzene (EVB) is produced as a useful chemical during dehydrogenation of DEB. Also some other liquid and gaseous by products is produced during dehydrogenation. A set-up has been developed to conduct the DEB dehydrogenation reactions experiments to prepare DVB at differen...
