The application discloses a
system and method for large-scale industrial
continuous production of PGA. In a 100,000-3,000,000 tons / year
polyglycolide PGA device, glycolide raw materials and catalyst are firstly sent into a first
polymerization reactor to perform adiabatic
polymerization, then are sent into a second
polymerization reactor to perform further polymerization, part of polymerization heat is removed through heat conduction oil in a jacket of the second
polymerization reactor and a winding
pipe, then the glycolide raw materials and the catalyst are sent into a third
polymerization reactor to perform adiabatic polymerization, after the polymerization reaction is completed, antioxidants and deactivation agents are added to terminate the reaction, then unreacted glycolide raw materials in the polymerization product are removed through a devolatilizer, finally, the polymerization product is subjected to
crystallization,
granulation and packaging and stacking to obtain a
polyglycolide product with a molecular weight of 156,000-212,000, a
melt viscosity of 460-540 Pa·S and a tensile strength of 65-73 MPa, which can be applied to large-scale commercial continuous industrial production of
polyglycolide PGA.
