How can I optimize 1.3 butadiene purity from emulsion polymerization?

12 December 2014 1 3K Report

we specialize in styrene-butadiene emulsion polymerization, we run conversion to 60%, and we recover the unconverted (1.3 butadiene) at a purity of average of 73% and major impurity is (cis-2 butene), how can we minimize this impurity formation

Jing Jin

You can try to change the solvent of emulsion polymerization because that the content of 1.3 butadiene is controlled by the polarity of the solvent.
