An integrated calorimetric approach for the scale-up of polymerization reactors
1999
The use of different calorimetric techniques permits the determination of thermokinetic parameters as well as heat transfer, stirrer power and safety data. In this paper the suspension polymerization of methylmethacrylate has been studied. Emphasis is put on the use of the FIRES pilot plant as a reaction calorimeter where the reaction temperature is controlled by the jacket temperature. The data obtained using different calorimeters are in good agreement. In conclusion the integrated calorimetric approach presented in this paper represents a rational methodology for the analysis and the development of complex chemical processes.
