Abstract

Abstract A horizontal solid-bed polymerization reactor which is divided into a plurality of zones, for example a reaction zone, an after-reaction zone, a heating zone and a product discharge zone and possesses inlet and outlet openings for feeding substances into the zones and/or removing substances from the zones, the zones being separated from one another over a part of the reactor cross-section by means of weirs, wherein two drive shafts which are independent of one another and possess mixing elements are introduced into the solid-bed polymerization reactor in the middle.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
A horizontal solid-bed polymerization reactor which is divided into a plurality of zones, comprising a reaction zone, an after-reaction zone, a heating zone and a product discharge zone and said reactor further having inlet and outlet openings for feeding substances into the zones and/or removing substances from the zones, the zones being separated from one another over a part of the reactor cross-section by means of weirs having variable free cross-sections, wherein drive shafts which are independent of one another and possess mixing elements located in the middle of the solid-bed polymerization reactor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 93 words
A horizontal solid-bed polymerization reactor which is divided into a plurality of zones, comprising a reaction zone, an after-reaction zone, a heating zone and a product discharge zone and said reactor further having inlet and outlet openings for feeding substances into the zones and/or removing substances from the zones, the zones being separated from one another over a part of the reactor cross-section by means of weirs having variable free cross-sections, wherein drive shafts which are independent of one another and possess mixing elements located in the middle of the solid-bed polymerization reactor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A solid-bed polymerization reactor according to claim 1, wherein temperature sensors for the individual zones are mounted in the drive shafts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
A solid-bed polymerization reactor according to claim 1, wherein the drive shafts are arranged coaxially.
