摘要:
Apparatus for the vapor phase polymerization of at least one polymerizable monomer comprising: (a) a horizontal reactor of substantially circular cross-section containing a centrally-located drive shaft extending longitudinally through said reactor to which are attached a plurality of adjacently located paddles, which paddles cause essentially no forward or backward movement of the particulate matter contained in said reactor and extend transversely within and to a short distance from the internal surfaces of said reactor, said reactor being divided into two or more individually gas-composition-controllable and polymerization-temperature-controllable polymerization compartments, by one or more dividing structures so constructed to control gas intermixing and movement of said particulate matter between said compartments; (b) driving means for said drive shaft; (c) one or more reactor off-gas outlets in each of said compartments spaced along the topward part of said reactor; (d) one or more vapor recycle inlets in each of said compartments spaced along the bottomward portion of said reactor; (e) one or more catalyst addition inlets in each of said compartments spaced along said reactor; (f) a plurality of quench liquid inlets spaced along the topward part of said reactor whereby quench liquid can be introduced into said two or more compartments; and (g) takeoff means for said particulate matter at one end of said reactor.
摘要:
A method is herein disclosed by which a polymerizable monomer or a mixture thereof can be economically and efficiently converted to polymeric substances with a high yield catalyst in a vapor phase polymerization process using a stirred-bed, quench-cooled, horizontaL reactor together with essentially total reactor off-gas recycle and melt finishing. The method is further characterized by being essentially isobaric at least up to the polymer finishing steps.

摘要:
A process for drying polymer slurry produced in slurry or bulk phase polymerization comprising removing, in a gas stream which contains polymerizable monomer, easily vaporizable liquid components from a stirred drying zone containing a large, in comparison with the volume of slurry from said polymerization added to said zone, amount of solid polymer particulate to form substantially dry polymer particulate using in essential part polymerization heat generated in said zone by carrying out therein a fraction of the overall amount of polymerization. The resulting polymer can be finished conventionally or by transferring said particulate to a melting zone in which an easily transferable polymer melt is formed, said melting accomplished in substantial part using polymerization heat generated in said melting zone by a fraction of the overall amount of polymerization.

摘要:
A reactor apparatus and method useful in regulating temperature in a heterogeneous reaction system is provided. The apparatus includes an elongated tube reactor packed with a bed of solid particles through which a reactant fluid phase is passed. A plurality of heat transfer medium passage tubes are disposed in the bed of solid particles with adjacent tubes spaced relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the reactor and with the tubes being substantially transverse to reactant flow through the reactor. The temperature in the system may, in turn, be regulated by effecting flow of a heat transfer medium through the passage tubes.
