Article: In-Line residence time distribution of dicarboxylic acid oligomers/dioxazoline chain extension by reactive extrusion.

INTRODUCTION

Studies of flow mechanisms and the modeling of the reactive extrusion process need information concerning Residence Time Distribution (RTD). RTD was used in reactive engineering for more than six decades, giving diagnostic tools for the detection of maldistribution inside the reactor, providing data for flow modeling, and quantifying the thermal history and mixing of reactants. Different aspects of RTD have been discussed in several books (1-3) and review articles (4-5). RTD studies also have been made for single and twin-screw extrusion. Tracers such as colorants (6-7) particles (7-8) radioactive elements {9}, and UV (8, 10-11) have been used. ...
