Condensation Polymerization Reactor.
Condensation Polymerization Reactor
Condensation Polymerization kettle is used to carry out a
condensation polymerization reaction under batch condition.
Polymerization reaction can be acid catalyzed or self-catalyzed.
The
set-up can be used to measure the extent of reaction &.also the
reaction rate constant. The set-up consists of jacketed type SS reactor
fitted with variable speed agitator & baffles. Reactor is fitted
with Nichrome wire heaters and digital temperature controller controls
temperature. Metered quantity of nitrogen gas from a cylinder, allowed
entering, in the reactor. Set-up is complete &. self-contained with
sampling ports. The top cover can be removed for cleaning purpose. Feed
is fed from top through a funnel provided with S.S. Ball Valve. An
outlet is given to Condenser fitted with a Perken's triangle for
collecting the condensate. Vapors are allowed to enter in the shell of
condenser and cooling water is allowed to pass through the tube and
condensate is collected.
