Problems solved by technology

The products obtained by this suspension process have some disadvantages, such as: the bead size distribution is very wide, and some oversized and undersized beads need to be sorted and discarded by screening; there are major limitations in the production of special products, such as colored beads and / or containing Microbeads of heterogeneous fillers or additives; nucleating agents and / or flame retardants are difficult to incorporate into the beads, or can inhibit polymerization; since it is carried out in an aqueous medium, a suspending and dispersing agent must be added, which consumes a lot of water, and The water medium contains a lot of organic and inorganic pollutants, which produces a large amount of sewage and has environmental problems; the batch polymerization process also has problems such as high energy consumption, high labor intensity of personnel, and poor product stability.

Abstract

A low-energy-consumption device for producing expanded polystyrene through a bulk method comprises a polymerization reactor (1), the lower end of the polymerization reactor (1) is connected with a mixer (5) through a discharging pump (4), and then the polymerization reactor (1) is sequentially connected with a plug flow reactor (6), a static mixer (7), a plug flow reactor (8), a pump (9) and a high-pressure underwater pelletizing system (10) through pipelines. When the front end of the mixer (5) is provided with an interface for adding a molten flame retardant master batch, flame-retardant expandable polystyrene (EPS) can be produced; when the front end of the mixer (5) is provided with an interface for adding molten graphite master batches, graphite expandable polystyrene (EPS) can be produced. The size of the obtained expanded polystyrene particles can be strictly controlled between 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm, the expanded polystyrene particles have good impact resistance and tensile strength, and the unit energy consumption is reduced to one third.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of expanded polystyrene resin, in particular to a device for producing expanded polystyrene. Background technique [0002] The device for producing expanded polystyrene is a device that produces expanded polystyrene (EPS) from styrene as the main raw material. The existing process produces expanded polystyrene (EPS), which is obtained by a batch polymerization process in suspension, and includes the following steps: using a suspension dispersant to disperse liquid styrene monomer in an aqueous medium, and react with stirring and heating. The polymerization initiator is added to the device to polymerize the styrene monomer; the foaming agent is added at a certain conversion rate of the monomer to complete the polymerization, and then discharged, washed, dried and sieved to obtain the green foamed polystyrene beads. The diameter ranges from 0.1-3mm. The products obtained by this suspension process have some ...
