Condensation Polymerization Reactor
Condensation Polymerization kettle is used to carry out a condensation
polymerization reaction under batch condition. Polymerization reaction
can be acid catalyzed or self-catalyzed. The set-up can be used to
measure the extent of reaction &.also the reaction rate constant.
The set-up consists of jacketed type SS reactor fitted with variable
speed agitator & baffles. Reactor is fitted with Nichrome wire
heaters and digital temperature controller controls temperature. Metered
quantity of nitrogen gas from a cylinder, allowed entering, in the
reactor. Set-up is complete &. self-contained with sampling ports.
The top cover can be removed for cleaning purpose. Feed is fed from top
through a funnel provided with S.S. Ball Valve. An outlet is given to
Condenser fitted with a Perken’s triangle for collecting the condensate.
Vapors are allowed to enter in the shell of condenser and cooling water
is allowed to pass through the tube and condensate is collected
