Continuous method for preparing polyacrylate resins

Abstract From the Canadian patent

64267-640, Abstract of the Disclosure, A method and apparatus for continuously manufacturing water absorbing resin. A mixed monomer solution is stored in a storage vessel and a polymerization initiator stored in an initiator storage vessel. The monomer solution is fed by gravity or otherwise through conduit to a lower position (below the liquid surface) of a reaction chamber of a reaction vessel at a rate of, for example, 4 gallons per minute. Simultaneously, the polymerization initiator is fed at a rate of for, example, 0.2 gallons per minute by gravity or otherwise through a conduit to an opposite side of the reaction chamber again at, a lower portion (below a continuously maintained …
