Simulation of Batch PVC Polymerization reactor of BIPC

Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is mainly produced via suspension polymerization process in which chain growth radical polymerization of vinyl chloride is performed inheterogeneous condition in vinyl chloride droplets dispersed in water. The polymerization process is very complex and polymerization reaction occurs together with other phenomena such as molecular diffusion and mass transfer of different species. Polymerization process of PVC has been modeled ( Xie et al (1991) and kiparessides et al (1999))
