Abstract:
The present invention provides a production method of polyvinyl chloride by suspension polymerization and a feeding apparatus. This method comprises: Step 1: injecting a vinyl chloride monomer and water at 25-98° C. into a reaction vessel to obtain a water suspension, closing the reaction kettle, repeatedly and cyclically performing vacuum-pumping and cleansing with nitrogen, stirring and evacuating oxygen in the reaction kettle; Step 2: adding a first suspension agent and a second suspension agent into the reaction kettle, and then adding a nanopowder and an initiator composite, to carry out the polymerization reaction; Step 3: adding cold water to terminate the polymerization reaction upon the pressure in the reaction kettle is reduced to 3.5 bar or less; Step 4: evacuating and vacuumizing the reaction kettle, and then filtering, washing and drying the resulted polymer, to obtain polyvinyl chloride. The present invention also provides a feeding apparatus used for the above production method. Polyvinyl chloride produced by the method of this invention has good performance and can meet the requirements of physical and chemical properties and applicability for most applications.

Abstract:
A method for isobutane alkylation is provided using a fixed-bed catalytic alkylation reactor comprises at least one catalytic flow channel. A feed stream comprising a compound to be alkylated is passed into a flow channel having an alkylation catalyst positioned on at least a portion of the flow channel inner surface in the flow channel downstream region. Olefin is injected into the feed stream at a point beyond a flow channel entrance region whereby the olefin contacts the alkylation catalyst by diffusion to the flow channel inner surface thereby reacting the compound with the olefin and produces an alkylate product.
Abstract:
A system for making a biodiesel fuel using a biofuel reactor with at least one chamber and at least a two atomizers in each chamber, at least one atomizer with biofuel feedstock nozzles, and a second atomizer with alcohol with catalyst nozzles to simultaneously atomize and quickly react the biofuel feedstock with the alcohol with catalyst. A polyol separator separates the microparticles into a crude polyol stream and a crude biodiesel stream, and a conduit with an inlet introduces water to the crude biodiesel stream. A separator is used to separate a first portion of water from the crude biodiesel stream forming a washed crude biodiesel with a second portion of washing water, and a heat exchanger is used to form dried biodiesel and wash water vapor. A cooler cools the dried biodiesel, and a filter is used to remove particles from the cooled biodiesel forming the biodiesel.
Abstract:
A polyester production system employing a vertically elongated esterification reactor. The esterification reactor of the present invention is an improvement over conventional CSTR esterification reactors because, for example, in one embodiment, the reactor requires little or no mechanical agitation. Further, in one embodiment, the positioning of the inlets and outlets of the reactor provides improved operational performance and flexibility over CSTRs of the prior art.
Abstract:
An apparatus for processing oil sand to produce a liquid stream comprising water and bitumen and a solid stream comprising solid particles, and a method and control system for controlling the apparatus. The apparatus includes a drum having first and second ends, a conditioning zone adjacent the first end, a compressing zone adjacent the second end and a processing zone therebetween. A rotatable spiral trough, having lifting members therein, extends through each zone for imparting a spiral rolling motion to the oil sand. An oil sand inlet communicates with the conditioning zone, while a water inlet communicates with the processing zone. A liquid stream outlet is located at the first end of the drum, while a solid stream outlet is located adjacent the second end. Preferably, the spiral trough has a width through the compressing zone less than through the processing zone and a height through at least a portion of the compressing zone greater than through the processing and conditioning zones.
Abstract:
A highly reliable digital level sensor assembly is provided to replace optical and capacitance type sensors in high purity chemical delivery systems. The digital level sensor assembly is particularly useful in bulk chemical refill delivery systems for high purity chemicals employing a manifold that ensures contamination free operation and canister change outs with a minimum of valves and tubing.
Abstract:
An aerosol delivery apparatus is used to deliver an aerosol into a reaction chamber for chemical reaction to produce reaction products such as nanoparticles. A variety of improved aerosol delivery approaches provide for the production of more uniform reaction products. In preferred embodiments, a reaction chamber is used that has a cross section perpendicular to the flow of reactant having a dimension along a major axis greater than a dimension along a minor axis. The aerosol preferably is elongated along the major axis of the reaction chamber.
