  • Patent number: 4301275
    Abstract: In aqueous dispersions on the basis of polyvinyl chloride the content of residual monomers is reduced by the countercurrent method by contacting the rapidly moved surface of the dispersion with secluded intensely mixed gas atmospheres in several successive chambers. To carry out the process a device is used which permits to obtain under mild conditions residual monomer contents of 10 ppm and therebelow.

  • Patent number: 4158092
    Abstract: Polymer dispersions are subject to a spray treatment to reduce the monomer content thereof. The dispersions are sprayed against the wall of the vessel by means of at least one spray nozzle.The residual monomer content of polymer dispersions is further reduced by spraying them in at least two series connected vessels, conducting the escaping gaseous constituents in one direction and the dispersion in opposite direction from one vessel to the next. The process is little liable to troubles and ensures a very effective monomer removal without thermal damage of the polymer.

  • Patent number: 4089119
    Abstract: Mixtures of finely divided solids and gases are subjected to a thermal treatment by feeding the optionally heated gas tangentially into the lower section of an axially symmetrical vessel, adding the solid to the gas at the latest in the vessel, heating or cooling the mixture of solid and gas in the vessel through the wall thereof and discharging the mixture in the upper section of the vessel. The gas/solid mixture is conducted in the vessel in upward direction in at least two annular flows substantially closed in themselves and in horizontal position one above the other, the transport of the solid from one annular flow to the adjacent overlaying annular flow taking place in a concentric inner zone of the annular flows.

  • Patent number: 4090014
    Abstract: .alpha.-Ethylenically unsaturated monomers are polymerized in aqueous media in a vessel with electrically conductive inner surface, in which partial areas of the inner surface covered by liquid are electrically insulated from the remaining surface areas and conductively connected therewith by an external source of current. In this manner the formation of deposits on the wall of vessel is hindered or suppressed.

  • Patent number: 4082659
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the process of concentrating K-polymer-latices by ultra filtration carried out by means of a semi-permeable membrane made of a synthetic polymer having a determined molecular weight, comprising that the membrane is pretreated with an emulsifier solution prior to ultra filtration. This operation substantially prevents the formation of solid matter deposits on the membrane.

  • Patent number: 3951883
    Abstract: Pulverulent polyvinyl chloride molding compositions capable of being sintered are produced using as emulsifier an alkyl-aryl or alkyl-sulfonic acid or a mixture thereof. Prior to or during polymerization 20 to 80 % of the emulsifier are added, optionally together with other auxiliaries, and the balance is applied to the separated polymer. The molding compositions are especially suitable for the manufacture of separating plates for electric cells.
