Suspension Polymerization of Vinyl Chloride with Triplet Cocktail of Initiator

Based on Kiparissides΄ s model for polymerization of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), a user -friendly software has been developed. Kinetic parameters, operating conditions and reactor geometry are input data in this software. Mass balance equations, phase equilibrium equations were solved. Synthetic and operating parameters (e.g.conversion, reaction rate, reactor pressure, etc.), molecular weight of polymer (Mw, Mn, Kvalue) and structural characteristics (Sd, Ld, TDB) are output data of software. Output data of software can be obtained in either a tabulated or graphical form. Using this software, the polymerization process carried out in the presence of a mixture of three initiators is simulated. Conversion and reaction rate of this process are compared with a typical polymerization carried out using one initiator
