Abstract

AbstractSuspension polymerization of styrene was performed in the loop reactor. In order to allow wide change to the polymer particle size, a sub impeller was included within the main impeller. The sub impeller served to increase the fluid velocity and to uniformly disperse the polymer droplets during polymerization.It was investigated how the double agitation method by the main and the sub impellers affected the transient droplet diameter distribution and the final particle size distribution. The particle size could be changed widely by the double agitation method without the decrease in degree of the uniformity of the particle size.
