Abstract:
Insoluble polymer powders which are only slightly swellable are prepared by polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone or a mixture of (a) an N-vinylcarboxamide, acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylates, methacrylates and/or a vinyl ester and (b) from 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total amount of monomers, of, as a crosslinking agent, a compound possessing two or more ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, in a powder bed in the presence of a heat-transfer medium and in the absence of oxygen and polymerization initiators, at from 90 DEG to 220 DEG C., the powder state being maintained, the reaction mass being circulated and the heat-transfer medium evaporated from the polymerization zone. The resulting polymers are used as adsorbents, as formulation assistants for crop protection agents or as ion exchangers.
Abstract:
Insoluble polymer powders which are only slightly swellable and are based on N-vinylpyrrolidone are prepared by polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone or a mixture of this with copolymerizable monomers and from 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total amount of monomers, of a crosslinking agent in a powder bed in the presence of a heat-transfer medium, which is inert to the reactants, and in the absence of oxygen and polymerization initiators, at from 90 DEG to 220 DEG C., while maintaining the powder state, circulating the reaction mass and evaporating the heat-transfer medium from the polymerization zone. The resulting insoluble polymers which are only slightly swellable are used as adsorbents or formulation assistants for fertilizers and crop protection agents.
Abstract:
A horizontal solid-bed polymerization reactor which is divided into a plurality of zones, for example a reaction zone, an after-reaction zone, a heating zone and a product discharge zone and possesses inlet and outlet openings for feeding substances into the zones and/or removing substances from the zones, the zones being separated from one another over a part of the reactor cross-section by means of weirs, wherein two drive shafts which are independent of one another and possess mixing elements are introduced into the solid-bed polymerization reactor in the middle.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of pulverulent polymers based on water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated monomers by polymerising acid group-containing monomers dissolved in water in a powder bed in the presence of conventional polymerisation initiators while maintaining the powder state, dissipating the heat of polymerisation by removing the solvent by distillation and circulating the reaction mass, where from 40 to 95% of the acid groups of the monomers are neutralised and the polymerisation is carried out in the presence of from 3 to 10 mol %, based on the monomers, of 2-mercaptoethanol as regulator. The homopolymers and copolymers obtained in this way are used as grinding auxiliaries and dispersants for pigments and as encrustation inhibitors and antigreying agents (antiredeposition agents) for detergents.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of pulverulent polymers based on water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated monomers by polymerising monomers containing acid groups which are dissolved in a monohydric C1- to C8-alcohol, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide or water, in a powder bed in the presence of conventional polymerisation initiators while maintaining the powder state, dissipating the heat of polymerisation by removing the solvent by distillation, and circulating the reaction material, where from 40 to 95% of the acid groups of the monomers have been neutralised and the polymerisation is carried out in the presence of from 3 to 10 mol %, based on the monomers, of a thiocarboxylic acid, a metal salt or chelate or an enol ether as regulator. The resultant homopolymers and copolymers are used as grinding aids and dispersants for pigments and as an encrustation inhibitor and antiredeposition agent (antigreying agent) for detergents.

Abstract:
Maleic anhydride copolymer powders are prepared by a process wherein a solution or dispersion of maleic anhydride in an alkyl vinyl ether and/or an alkene, containing from 3 to 25 moles of the alkyl vinyl ether and/or alkene per mole of maleic anhydride, is brought into contact with a powder bed under polymerization conditions, and is polymerized in the bed while the reaction mass is circulated and the powder state is maintained, and the heat generated during polymerization is removed by evaporating excess monomer which boils lower than maleic anhydride.
Abstract:
Water-soluble polymer powders are prepared by polymerizing water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomers in a powder bed in the presence of polymerization initiators and water while maintaining the powder state, removing the heat of polymerization by distilling off water and circulating the reaction mixture, by a process in which water-insoluble organic peroxides which are liquid at 20 DEG C. are used alone or as a mixture with up to 50% by weight, based on the initiator mixture, of water-soluble, organic azo initiators and/or water-insoluble solid peroxy-containing compounds, as polymerization initiators.
