The invention relates to the preparation method of a polymer compound and a plant used therefor, in particular to a continuous solution polymerization process of optical-grade poly(methyl methacrylate) and the plant used therefor. The plant used for the continuous solution polymerization process of optical-grade poly(methyl methacrylate) comprises a refining and distillation device, a polymerization reaction device, a two-stage devolatilization device, and a wire-drawing and granulation device connected with each other in series, and specifically comprises a feed refining tower, a polymerization reaction groove, a recovering and refining tower, heaters a and b, and devolatilization tanks a and b. The continuous solution polymerization process can prepare optical-grade poly(methyl methacrylate) from monomers, a copolymer, a stabilizing agent, a molecular weight regulator, an initiator and a solvent according to the following four steps: (1) refining and distillation, (2) polymerization reaction, (3) flash devotilization and (4) wire drawing and granulation. The PMAA produced by the process has the advantages of high safety, no gel accumulation, improved physical properties and color of the produt, low energy consumption, environmental protection, clean production, good weathering resistance of the product, anhydrous polymerization, no black spots on the product, etc.
