plz recomend methods
i have a problem about Mixing in pipe(polymerization).
because of polymerization speed(too fast), static mixer used to be blocked with gel(polymer gel).
so i need pre-mixing front of static mixer.
i thought about method
mixing plate (make turbulant flow) -> raw material's viscosity is high (X)
jet mixer -> can make a gel (fast polymerization) -> can be block the injector hole
so to solve a problem plz recomend any method which have a small possibility !
thank you
Dear Jae Hyeok Lee, I couldn't get the whole picture of the situation. Why not working in an emulsion polymerization ? Please give more description of the experimental setup. My Regards
Dear Jae,
Please consider that you know well all the experimental details, therefore our suggestions can help, more or less. It is required to have more information and practical experience linked to your topic:
a) The “polymerization speed(too fast)” :
did you try to change the ratio between the reactants, to delay the kinetics of reactions, etc. ?!
b) The mixing with “static mixers”: please consider that are many types of mixers for polymers, liquids, etc. (you can check more information via the internet, some suppliers offer even system for dosing/mixing 2 components/ I will not do some publicity).
c) Kenics static mixers are extremely efficient, and not complex/easy to remove/clean.
d) Furthermore, the information from the production of PUs can be of help for this subject, because in traditional technology is used a specific head of quick mixing for components...
Good luck in your R&D project and best regards,
Marius
