  • Patent number: 11518822
    Abstract: Provided is a method of predicting fouling during a process of preparing polyolefin. According to the present invention, occurrence of fouling may be predicted by calculating R value according to the following Equation 1 in real-time with high reliability during a copolymerization process of preparing polyolefin: R (ratio of unreacted alpha-olefin comonomer to produced polyolefin polymer) =amount of unreacted alpha-olefin comonomer (unit: kg/hr) / amount of produced polyolefin polymer (unit: kg/hr) ??[Equation 1] Therefore, productivity of the polyolefin preparation process may be further increased.

  • Patent number: 11512153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound polymer including a step of separating volatile components from a polymerization product containing an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound polymer, a residual aromatic vinyl monomer, a residual vinyl cyanide monomer, and an organic solvent using a volatilization tank, and a step of condensing the separated volatile components using a condenser, wherein an organic solvent or an aromatic vinyl monomer is sprayed onto the volatile components being transferred to the condenser. Volatile components may be fully condensed in a condenser, thereby significantly reducing the amount of volatile components discharged to the outside without being condensed. Therefore, wastewater treatment costs consumed in treating the volatile components may be reduced, and the amount of vinyl cyanide monomers harmful to the human body discharged into the atmosphere may be significantly reduced.
