A comprehensive model has been developed to handle the reactions in polymers undergoing polycondensation reactions in the solid state. The polymer crystalline fraction is modeled as containing only repeat units, thus concentrating end groups and condensate in the amorphous fraction. In addition, by

β¦ Synopsis
The relative merits of the moving packed bed, fluidized bed, and stirred bed reactors for solid-state polycondensation are discussed along with methods for improving these designs. A general model to describe continuous solid-state polymerization reactors is then developed and illustrated by a case study of a moving packed bed reactor showing the relative importance of operating variables. The model also predicts the dynamic behavior in response to several process inputs.

Poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) taken from postconsumer soft-drink bottles was subjected to solid-state polycondensation after cutting into small pieces or after dissolution in trifluoracetic acid, trifluoracetic acid/dichloromethane mixture (50/50%, v/v), or nitrobenzene, and coagulation in meth
## Abstract A comprehensive mathematical model was established by considering the main and side reactions for solidβstate polycondensation of poly(ethylene terephthalate). The effect of temperature on chain mobility was used to estimate the rate constants of chemical reactions. The polymer crystall
Zymotis bioreactors for solid-state fermentation (SSF) are packed-bed bioreactors with internal cooling plates. This design has potential to overcome the problem of heat removal, which is one of the main challenges in SSF. In ordinary packed-bed bioreactors, which lack internal plates, large axial t
