Simulation of ۱,۳-butadiene Emulsion polymerization by ASPENPOLYMER PLUS®: Effect of two different emulsifiers on kinetics

in this work, we performed a comprehensive simulation of butadiene emulsion polymerization withAspen Polymer Plus, incorporating two different emulsifiers, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) anddisproportionated rosin soap, to investigate their respective effects on the polymerization process.The team used the POLYNRTL method to predict physical and thermodynamic properties.Reaction rates, conversion rates and particle size distribution were also determined from thesimulation results. In particular, the simulation results showed that the emulsifier with a lowercritical micelle concentration (CMC) had a higher reaction rate, while the particle size remainedunaffected.
