The invention provides a prepolymerization reactor, a continuous
bulk polymerization system and method and PMMA resin. The method comprises the following steps: mixing accurately metered polymeric monomers and auxiliaries, sequentially completing a prepolymerization reaction and a
polymerization reaction in serially connected
polymerization reactors, and then devolatilizing and granulating a
polymerization product to obtain PMMA resin, and comprises the following steps: step 1, purifying and mixing reaction materials; step 2, prepolymerization reaction; step 3, polymerization reaction; step 4, devolatilization; and step 5, granulating. The method overcomes the defects that in the prior art, the polymerization conversion rate is low, the
solvent usage amount is large, the molecular
weight distribution of the product is wide, light
transmittance and other properties cannot meet optical-grade application requirements, and the quality is difficult to accurately regulate and control. Through optimization of a formula and
process conditions, a special process
system design and combination of polymerization reactors, the contradiction between high conversion rate in the polymerization process and narrow molecular
weight distribution of a PMMA product is solved; under the conditions of low
solvent addition amount or no
solvent, the high conversion rate is obtained, the molecular
weight distribution of the polymerization product is narrow, the molecular weight is controllable, and the high-quality optical-grade PMMA resin product is obtained.
