Suspension Polymerization of Vinyl Chloride with Predefined Temperature Trajectory

The main objective of this research is preparation of the S-PVC process simulation software which provides kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the process and the characteristics of the final product in the operating conditions of constant temperature and variable temperature, for the user. The model used tosimulate, is a model proposed by Kiparissides et al. (1997).In this study, the results of the simulations for the three cases are compared. It was observed that by using a decreasing trend of the reactor temperature, with an appropriate slope, final conversion is reached in a shorter time.
