CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION SET-UP APPARATUS

Product Description

Condensation Polymerizationkettle is used to carry out a condensation polymerization reaction under batchconditions.

The polymerization reaction canbe acid-catalyzed or self-catalyzed.

The set-up can be used to measurethe extent of reaction & also the reaction rate constant.

The set-up consists of a jacketedtype SS reactor fitted with variable speed agitator & baffles.

The reactor is fitted withNichrome wire heaters and the temperature is controlled by the digitaltemperature controller.

Metered quantity of nitrogen gasfrom a cylinder, allowed entering in the reactor.

Set-up is complete &self-contained with sampling ports.

The top cover can be removed forcleaning purposes.

Feed is fed from the top througha funnel provided with S.S. Ball Valve.

An outlet is given to theCondenser fitted with a Perkin™s triangle for collecting the condensate.

Vapors are allowed to enter theshell of a condenser and cooling water is allowed to pass through the tube andcondensate is collected.

Experimentation/Learning:

Objectives to study the kineticsof Condensation Polymerization in a Batch Reactor under isothermal conditions.

To calculate the rate constantand extent of reaction with and without acid catalyst.
