Abstract:
The polycondensation step of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) formation is assumed to include various side reactions in addition to the usual polymerization reaction. Polymerization in the batch reactor at constant pressure has been modeled to flash volatile components at the end of small discrete time intervals with polymerization occurring during the interval. The Hamiltonian has been written for the time interval and optimum temperature history computed for batch reactors for various reactor pressures. For low pressures, computed optimum temperature history is found to be of similar nature as that used in industry.
