  • Publication number: 20210070895
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210061928
    Abstract: A method of preparing an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound polymer includes polymerizing a reaction mixture containing an aromatic vinyl compound, a vinyl cyanide compound, and an organic solvent in a reactor and transferring the vaporized reaction mixture present in the upper space of the reactor to a heat exchanger via a pipe and condensing the vaporized reaction mixture. The condensed reaction mixture is transferred to one side of the pipe and sprayed into the pipe, the flow velocity of the reaction mixture vaporized in the reactor is reduced, and temperature is lowered. Accordingly, a phenomenon wherein polymer particles in a reactor are sucked into a heat exchanger is prevented, and occurrence of polymerization in the heat exchanger is suppressed. Therefore, productivity and quality may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20200094164
    Abstract: A separation method and a separation apparatus for a solvent extracted by supercritical extraction. The separation method increases a solvent recovery rate by minimizing the amount of a solvent to be evaporated and lost since the pressure of a solvent is reduced by arranging two or more separators in series. The method includes: introducing a fluid having passed through a supercritical extractor into a first flash vessel; introducing the fluid which has passed through the first flash vessel into a second flash vessel; and discharging and recovering the carbon dioxide and the solvent which have passed through the second flash vessel, respectively. The pressure of the first flash vessel is 40-100 bar, and the pressure of the second flash vessel is 1-30 bar. The fluid includes carbon dioxide and a solvent.

  • Patent number: 10570223
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for removing an unreacted vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in polyvinyl chloride (PVC). According to an illustrative stripping apparatus and a stripping method using the stripping apparatus of the present application, in a stripping process using steam, a temperature difference between a raw material including a target substance to be removed and steam is minimized to suppress foam generation in the stripping process, thereby increasing efficiency of removing the target substance to be removed, particularly, an unreacted VCM in PVC. In addition, a cleansing cycle to remove foams generated in the stripping apparatus can be reduced, thereby not only securing economic feasibility of the process, but also preventing degradation in quality of a final product that may occur when an antifoamer to remove the foams is used.
