Abstract
Petroleum resins are used widely in many industries. They are solvable in most of aromatic and aliphatic solvents. There are different grades of petroleum resins from dark and viscose liquids to bright and hard ones. They are used mostly in the adherent industry as binder. In this article the production process of aliphatic petroleum resin is simulated based on the process described in Stanford Research Institute International. Regarding the lack of kinetic information about the dimerization process of cylcopentadiene as well as the polymerization process, suitable kinetic rate equations are derived from experimental tests done by Shakeri (2002) and used in the simulation. Simulation outputs are in good accordance with the given data in SRI.
