CFD simulations of polymer devolatilization in steam contactors

Removal of volatiles and other unwanted products in a polymer mix is a critical step in polymer manufacturing. This process serves many purposes, such as improvement in the physical and chemical properties of the polymer, elimination of odours, recovery of monomers and solvents, and fulfilment of en...
