Abstract:

The horizontal kneading reactor with large effective reaction volume possesses excellent mixing, surface renewal, heat transfer and self-cleaning performance. Hence, the kneading reactor has broad application prospects in fields such as bulk polymerization, polymerization condensation and polymer devolatilization. This article reviews several types of kneading reactors, research on stirring characteristics and their application in the polymerization industry. The experimental measurement techniques have significant limitations due to the complex geometry and the CFD simulation is the main research method. The kneading reactor with self-cleaning characteristics is the main direction for the development of agitated equipment for polymer. The efficient, intensive, green and environmentally friendly advanced processes and devices are the key to promoting the development of polymer industry.

Key words: kneading reactor, agitating characteristic, computational fluid dynamics, process intensification, bulk polymerization, polymerization condensation, polymer devolatilization
