Continuous emulsion polymerization, Hydrodynamics, Residence time distribution, Tube reactorAbstract
A new type of reactor for continuous emulsion polymerization was characterized by measurements of the residence time distribution in water and during a chemical reaction. These measurements show nearly plug flow behavior even in the laminar flow region. The thermal behavior was modeled with respect to temperature, monomer and initiator concentration. Continuous emulsion polymerization can be run inherently safe and with remarkable high space time yield in the new wicker tube reactor.Downloads
