Abstract
AbstractBased on the analysis of a simple mathematical model, different temperature profiles are generated in order to provide vinyl chloride (VCM) suspension polymerization with constant reaction rates in batch reactors. In order to reproduce these temperature profiles in industrial‐scale reactors, some process variables, such as coolant temperature, initiator concentration, and rate of water and monomer condensation, have to be manipulated. It is shown that those temperature practices can almost never be applied to large‐scale reactors if the jacket temperature is the only variable that can be manipulated. It is also shown that developing an initiator feed procedure or using a reflux condenser may be advantageous.
