APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS SOLID STATE POLYMERIZATION

摘要

A continuous solid state polymerization apparatus of the present invention comprises: a feeder for continuously feeding a prepolymer; a horizontal reactor connected to the feeder through a first connection part to receive the prepolymer from the feeder and perform solid state polymerization, the horizontal reactor itself being rotated; a chamber connected to the horizontal reactor through a second connection part to receive and discharge a solid-state polymerized polymer which is discharged from the horizontal reactor; and a sealing member for sealing the first connection part and the second connection part, wherein the feeder, the horizontal reactor, and the chamber are in a vacuum state. The continuous solid state polymerization apparatus can prevent a congestion section of the prepolymer from being formed, and continuously perform the solid state polymerization in a vacuum state without using an inert gas.
