KONTINUERLIGT FORFARANDE FOR AVLEGSNANDE AV MONOMERA FORORENINGAR UR VATTENDISPERSIONER AV GENOM EMULSIONSPOLYMERISATION ERHALLNA VINYLKLORIDPOLYMERER

摘要

A process for removing residual monomer from an emulsifier-containing aqueous dispersion of a solid vinyl chloride polymer having a surface tension of less than 60 dyne/cm., which comprises continuously admixing the polymer dispersion with steam in a fluid flow pipe under a pressure of 150-600 torr at a flow velocity of 1-20 m./sec., and passing said admixture at an exit velocity of 30-100 m./sec. horizontally into and along the walls of a degasification tank having a pressure 30-200 torr lower than the pressure in said flow pipe to evaporate residual monomer.
