    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising a shell; the shell having an inlet port for introducing a polymer solution into the shell and an outlet port for removing the polymer solution from the shell; wherein the polymer solution comprises a polymer and a solvent that is operative to dissolve the polymer; a plurality of plates in the shell; where the plurality of plates is stacked one atop the other to define a central passage that is in fluid communication with the inlet port of the shell; where the plurality of plates further defines a plurality of conduits, each conduit extending radially outwards from the central passage, where the plurality of conduits is in fluid communication with the central passage; and where the apparatus is operated at a pressure and a temperature effective to maintain the polymer solution in a single phase during its travel through the apparatus.

    Abstract: A process for the separation of at least one polyolefin from a product stream from a solution polymerization process, wherein the product stream comprises the at least one polyolefin and a mixture of volatiles, the process comprising the steps of separating the product stream into a first polyolefin-lean vapor stream and a first condensed polyolefin-rich stream; separating the first condensed polyolefin-rich stream into a second polyolefin-lean vapor stream and a second condensed polyolefin-rich stream; separating the second condensed first condensed polyolefin-rich stream into a last polyolefin-lean vapor stream and a last condensed polyolefin-rich stream; characterized in that the first polyolefin-lean vapor stream and the second polyolefin-lean vapor stream are introduced into an initial feed stream of the solution polymerization process without any further purification step.

    Inventor: Wolfgang FISCHER

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a thermoplastic moulding compound comprising a thermoplastic copolymer A and a graft copolymer B (4), comprising: continuously drying the dewatered graft copolymer B (4) by supplying a drying gas (3) and the dewatered graft copolymer B (4), by moving the dewatered graft copolymer B (4) through the drying gas (3) and forming a fluidized bed (5), the drying gas (3) having a feed temperature TG,feed in the range from 50° C. to 160° C., and by removing dried graft copolymer B (4) and an offgas (7), wherein i. a starting temperature Tin of the fluidized bed (5) on feeding (9) of the dewatered graft copolymer B (4) is measured, ii. a finish temperature Tout of the fluidized bed (5) on removal (11) of the dried graft copolymer B (4) and/or of the offgas (7) is measured, iii. a difference ΔTact between the finish temperature Tout and the starting temperature Tin is formed and the difference ΔTact is compared with a target value ΔTtarget, and iv. the finish temperature Tout is adjusted by—increasing a mass flow rate of drying gas (3) supplied and/or the feed temperature TG,feed of the drying gas (3) when the difference ΔTact is smaller than the target value ΔTtarget or—reducing a mass flow rate of drying gas (3) supplied and/or the feed temperature TG,feed of the drying gas (3) when the difference ΔTact is greater than the target value ΔTtarget.

    Abstract: A process can be used for manufacturing an acrylic copolymer having increased heat resistance, high transparency, and improved adhesion to metal surfaces. The process involves polymerizing a monomer mixture, optional heating of the copolymer mixture, and removing volatile components from the copolymer mixture by degassing. Moulding compositions containing this copolymer are highly suitable for manufacturing optical elements for optoelectronic devices containing acrylic and metallic or ceramic parts.
