✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Assumed is that there is no mass transfer among the droplets of reacting organic phase in a continuous vinyl chloride (VCM) suspension polymerization reactor. A mathematical model is thus developed to allow the calculation of steady states and the analysis of their dynamic stability. The results obtained are compared with those obtained with the hypothesis of perfect micromixing. It Is shown that both assumptions lead to similar dynamic structures, which confirms the complex behavior of these reactors. There are major differences, however, that can be exploited in future experimental work.
