Emulsion Copolymerization of Acrylonitrile and Butadiene in an Industrial Reactor. Mathematical Modeling, Estimation, and Control of Polymer Quality Variables on the Basis of Calorimetric Measurements
−− An industrial emulsion copolymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene carried out in a batch (or semibatch) reactor for the production of nitrile rubber (NBR) is investigated. The effect of variable amounts of deactivating impurities on the predictions of a global polymerization model is analyzed; and the advantages of using the model predictions in combination with on-line calorimetric mea...
متن کاملOptimal Control of E Mulsion Copolymerization: Application to a Pilot-scale Reactor under a Dcs Environment
A detailed model was developed for the emulsion copolymerization of styrene and MMA to predict the evolution of the particle size distribution (PSD) and molecular weight distribution (MWD) over the entire range of monomer conversion. A system exhibiting zero-one kinetics was employed. The model was used to optimise the emulsion copolymerization process in order to maximize particle size polydis...

In this paper dynamic optimization of a lab-scale semi-batch emulsion copolymerization reactor for styrene and butyl acrylate in the presence of a chain transfer agent (CTA) is studied. The mathematical model of the process, previously developed and experimentally validated, is used to predict the glass transition temperature of produced polymer, the number and weight average molecular weights,...
متن کاملModeling and optimization of fed-batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate in the presence of a chain transfer
This paper deals with modelling and optimization of a semi-batch emulsion copolymerization reactor of styrene and butyl acrylate in the presence of n-C12 mercaptan as chain transfer agent (CTA). The model is developed using reaction rate laws available in the literature. The population balance equations are based on a new approach which reduces significantly the number of equations involved and...
