US 11,220,557 B2 · Method and system for polymerizing acrylates

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for polymerizing acrylates using a reactor (50). Reaction heat produced in the reactor (50) is discharged via a boiling cooler (40) in that gaseous vapors produced in the reactor (50) are supplied to the boiling cooler (40), and condensed vapors are returned to the reactor (50) from the boiling cooler (40). At least one component containing acrylate is at least partly added via the boiling cooler (40) and reaches the reactor (50) via the boiling cooler (40). The invention additionally relates to a system for polymerizing an acrylate, comprising a reactor (50) and a boiling cooler (40) for discharging reaction heat produced in the reactor (50). The boiling cooler (40) has at least one filling opening (46) for supplying at least one component containing acrylate.

Dependent claims

A process for polymerizing acrylates by a reactor, where

heat of reaction arising in the reactor is removed by an evaporative cooler by feeding gaseous vapor formed in the reactor to the evaporative cooler and recirculating condensed vapor from the evaporative cooler to the reactor,
wherein at least one component containing acrylate is introduced at least partly via the evaporative cooler and goes via the evaporative cooler into the reactor,
wherein a reduced pressure is generated in the reactor,
wherein a reduced pressure compared to atmospheric pressure prevails in the reactor during the polymerization of the acrylate.
