Abstract

A comprehensive mathematical model for the finishing stages of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) synthesis is developed. The model takes into account the variables which have significant influences on polymerization but have not been hitherto taken into account, e.g., changing interfacial concentration and the presence of side reactions. The model is applicable to industrial polymerizations, and the predictions agree well with the literature and with certain pilot-plant and commercial data.
