Abstract

A device for producing expandable polystyrene by a bulk method comprises a polymerization reaction unit which is connected with a heating devolatilization device through a discharge pump; the upper end of the heating devolatilization device is connected with a condenser and a vacuum liquid collection tank; and the lower part of the heating devolatilization device is connected with a mixer, a melt heat exchanger, a pump and a high-pressure underwater pelletizing system through a pump. The device can be used for producing flame-retardant expandable polystyrene (EPS) and can also be used for producing graphite expandable polystyrene (EPS). The materials in the polymerization reaction unit comprise the following components in parts by weight: 80-95 kg of styrene, 2-10 kg of a solvent and 0.5-8 kg of an auxiliary agent. The particle size of the obtained expandable polystyrene EPS ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm, residual monomers are low, waste water is little, and the environment-friendly effect is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of foamable polystyrene resin, in particular to a device for producing foamable polystyrene. Background technique [0002] The production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) from styrene as the main raw material is very important for the quality control of expanded polystyrene. The existing process for producing foamable polystyrene is through a suspension batch polymerization process. The main steps are: using a suspension dispersant to disperse the liquid styrene monomer in an aqueous medium, and adding a polymerization initiator in a stirred and heated reactor. When the monomer is added with a foaming agent at a certain conversion rate, the polymerization is completed; discharge, wash, dry and sieve to obtain foamable polystyrene beads. The diameter of the beads ranges from 0.1 mm to 4 mm. The products obtained by this suspension process have several disadvantages, such as: very broad bead size distribution, ...
