Resumen:
An industrial bulk process for the continuous production of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) is mathematically modeled, and the model is validated with actual plant data. The steady states of two commercial HIPS grades were investigated. Polymer samples were taken along the process to measure monomer conversion, styrene (St) grafting efficiency, and free PS molecular weights. The model adequately reproduces the experimental measurements, and it also estimates the molecular macrostructure of the evolving reaction mixture.
