Liquid-liquid dispersion in a continuous oscillatory baffled reactor - Application to suspension polymerization

- We study the batch to continuous transposition for process based on liquid-liquid dispersion.
- Liquid-liquid dispersion in a continuous oscillatory baffled reactor is thoroughly studied.
- Oscillation is the main parameters responsible for droplet breakage.
- Net flow Reynolds number does not affect the mean droplet size but allows the control of the residence time.
- Vinyl acetate suspension polymerization can be carried out continuously, including the sticky step, in continuous oscillatory baffled reactor.
