摘要： A horizontal trayed reactor operable to facilitate a chemical reaction in a reaction medium flowing therethrough. The reactor can include a plurality of vertically spaced trays disposed within the horizontally elongated vessel shell. The reaction medium can flow in generally opposite directions on vertically adjacent trays so that the reaction medium flows generally back-and-forth through the reactor.

摘要： The present invention provides an assembly for use in vertical, gravity flow driven polymerization reactors for combinations of high viscosity, high throughput, and shallow polymer depths. The baffle assembly module of the invention includes a support structure having a plurality of side openings. The side openings allow the escape of vapor liberated from the polymeric melt. The assembly further includes a feed splitter followed by two or more vertically arranged rows of baffle plates with the feed splitter and baffles sequentially positioned in the support structure. The plurality of parallel baffles in a row are angled such that when a polymeric melt contacts a given baffle the polymeric melt moves in a downward direction under the force of gravity. The arrangement of the rows is such that each row (except the lowest row) transfers the polymeric melt to a lower vertically adjacent row until reaching the last row of baffles in the module. According to the vertical arrangement of the components in the baffle assembly module and by stacking additional baffle assembly modules if needed within the reactor, the polymeric melt cascades down the vertical length of the reaction vessel interior. The present invention also provides a polymerization reactor that incorporates the assembly of the invention and a method of increasing the degree of polymerization of a polymer melt by using the assembly of the invention.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种用于垂直重力流驱动的聚合反应器中用于高粘度，高通量和浅聚合物深度组合的组合体。 本发明的挡板组件模块包括具有多个侧面开口的支撑结构。 侧开口允许从聚合物熔体释放的蒸气逸出。 该组件还包括一个进料分流器，随后是两个或更多垂直排列的挡板排，其中进料分流器和挡板顺序地位于支撑结构中。 一排中的多个平行挡板是成角度的，使得当聚合物熔体接触给定的挡板时，聚合物熔体在重力作用下沿向下的方向移动。 排的布置使得每排（除了最下排）将聚合物熔体转移到下垂直相邻的排，直到到达模块中的最后一排挡板。 根据挡板组件模块中的部件的垂直布置以及如果需要在反应器内堆叠附加的挡板组件模块，聚合物熔体沿着反应容器内部的垂直长度逐渐降级。 本发明还提供一种聚合反应器，其包含本发明的组合物和通过使用本发明的组合物提高聚合物熔体的聚合度的方法。

摘要： A process for thermally crystallizing a polyester polymer by introducing pellets into a liquid medium having a temperature of at least 140° C. within a liquid medium zone and crystallizing the submerged pellets at or above the vapor pressure of the liquid medium without increasing the molecular weight of the pellets, and while the pressure on at least a portion of the pellets is equal to or greater than the vapor pressure of the liquid medium, separating at least a portion of said pellets and at least a portion of the liquid medium from each other. The crystallization is desirably conducted in the liquid medium zone without mechanically induced agitation. Optionally, the pellets are formed by an underfluid pelletizer.There is also provided a process for thermally crystallizing solid pellets in a pipe by directing a flow of solid pellets in a liquid medium through a pipe having an aspect ratio L/D of at least 50:1, wherein the solid pellets are crystallized in the pipe at a liquid medium temperature greater than the Tg of the polyester polymer.
