Rigorous Modeling of a High Pressure Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (eva) Copolymerization Autoclave Reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely used polymers in chemical industry. In all the PE processes, high-pressure autoclave process is generally considered as the most profitable segment of the polyethylene business worldwide in recent years. Depending on different grades of the product, reactor zone temperatures in this autoclave process can be in the range 150-230°C and pressure in the range of 15002000kg/cm. In this paper, rigorous dynamic model of an industrial ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymerization reactor will be established. Industrial operating condition data of seven product grades with melt index ranging from ones to over four hundred will be used as fitted or test data to obtain the key kinetic parameters in the model. The predicted outputs of melt index, vinyl acetate wt. % in polymer, and polymer production rate will be compared to plant data. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Miniemulsion Copolymerization of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate
The copolymerizations of a gaseous monomer (ethylene) and a liquid monomer (vinyl acetate) via emulsion and miniemulsion polymerizations are reported. Reactions in which the vinyl acetate was introduced in both batch and semibatch modes are carried out. (Ethylene introduction is always in a semibatch model since the polymerization is carried out under a constant pressure of ethylene in the reac...
متن کاملEnhanced Controlled Transdermal Delivery of Mexazolam Using Ethylene-vinyl Acetate
Repeated oral administration of mexazolam, an anti-anxiety agent, may cause adverse effects such as gastric disturbance, drowsiness, and ataxia due to transiently high blood levels. Transdermal administration would avoid the systemic side effects and gastric disorders after oral administration. We have developed a matrix using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a heat-processible and flexible mat...

متن کاملCopolymerization studies of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate with ethylene using a transition-metal catalyst.
Since the advent of Ziegler-Natta polymerization of ethylene, attempts have been made to extend coordination polymerization to commercially important monomers with polar functionality. In this study we examined the copolymerization of perdeuterated vinyl chloride (VC) and perdeuterated vinyl acetate (VA) with ethylene using a tridentate Fe(II) dichloride pyridine diimine metal catalyst. The res...
