  • Publication number: 20180016368
    Abstract: A process for the continuous synthesis of diene elastomers with a high degree of conversion is provided. The process includes simultaneously: a) introducing continuously into a polymerisation reactor containing a gas phase and equipped with at least one stirring rotor and a discharge device, at least i. one or more monomers, including at least one conjugated diene monomer, and ii. from 0% to 70% by mass of an organic solvent, calculated relative to the total mass of monomers and of solvent, b) continuously polymerising the monomer(s), c) stirring the polymerisation medium via the continuous movement of at least one stirring rotor about a rotary axle, d) continuously discharging the elastomer paste, e) continuously conveying the discharged elastomer paste to a chopping device and chopping it into particles, f) removing solvent from the particles of the elastomer paste, and g) recovering diene elastomer.

  • Patent number: 9056303
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous preparation of a catalytic system that can be used for the polymerization of at least one conjugated diene monomer, said catalytic system being based on at least: a preforming conjugated diene; an organic phosphoric acid salt of one or more rare-earth metal(s), said salt being in suspension in at least one saturated aliphatic or alicyclic and inert hydrocarbon-based solvent; an alkylating agent comprising an alkylaluminium having the formula AlR3 or HAlR2; and a halogen donor comprising an alkylaluminium halide; characterized in that it comprises successively in one line (L): (i) a reaction between the preforming conjugated diene, with the solution of the salt of rare-earth element(s) and the alkylating agent, with the alkylation reaction being carried out for a characteristic minimum period of at least 5 minutes in an alkylation reactor (30) composed of at least one well-mixed dynamic mixer; (ii) the addition of said halogen donor to the mixtur
