Evaluation of the efficiency of using a tubular turbulent apparatus in the step of titanium catalyst preparation in isoprene rubber production

Resumo

Changes in the process parameters and quality of the synthesized SKI-3 isoprene rubber, caused by using a small tubular turbulent apparatus of diffuser–confuser design in the step of titanium catalyst preparation, are analyzed. The use of this apparatus in the industrial process leads to a decrease in the catalyst consumption and to an increase in the polymer yield without significant changes in the polymer characteristics.
