APPARATUS FOR PREPARING GEL-LIKE POLYMER MATERIALS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: polymerization processes. SUBSTANCE: initial monomer solution is fed into upper section wherein monomer is submitted to mixing operation and undergoes polymerization. Solid gel is transferred into lower section for further polymerization. Gel block is there fixed by pointed plates when rotating around maturing tank axis. Knife grate of cutting unit rotates with rotation of bottom. Cut gel lumps are mixed with additives and discharged from apparatus through worm granulator. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of process. 4 cl, 3 dwg
