Abstract
AbstractSummary: A dynamic model is built to describe the bulk propylene polymerization in stirred tank reactors (LIPP process), assuming that catalyst deactivation takes place and that the reactor temperature must be controlled with the help of reflux condensers and external heat exchangers. Simulation results show that the dynamic behavior of the LIPP process can be much more complex than described previously, when catalyst deactivation and the performance of the real temperature controller are taken into consideration. Particularly, it is shown that chaotic behavior can be observed in very wide ranges of operation conditions when the more realistic operation conditions are considered.
