  • Patent number: 4334057
    Abstract: Polymers are continuously recovered from their latexes obtained by polymerization in emulsion by a process comprising the following steps:(A) feeding the polymeric latexes containing 10 to 50% by weight of polymer, at a temperature of from 10.degree. to 120.degree. C., through one or more feeding channels, to the narrow zone or to the divergent section of a nozzle in which water vapor flows at sonic or supersonic speed respectively, according to vapor/latex feeding ratios of 0.1-2 Kg of vapor/Kg of latex, where the latex is subdivided by the water vapor into a dispersion of particles; and(B) continuously feeding the dispersion obtained in step (A) to a tube or an exchanger of the type tube-in-tube directly connected with the divergent section of the nozzle where the dispersion, at a temperature of 100.degree.-150.degree. C. for residence times of from 0.1 to 1 second, maintains a speed of 50-150 m/sec.
