Conventionally, after a vinyl compound is polymerized in an aqueous medium in a polymerization vessel, unreacted monomers are collected from the top of the polymerization vessel, or the slurry obtained by the polymerization is extracted from the bottom without recovering them. . Thereafter, in order to remove scale adhering to the vessel walls and the like before the start of the next batch, the manhole may be opened and washed with high-pressure water, or a person may enter the polymerization vessel to work. However, the amount of monomer remaining in the polymerization vessel after the slurry is discharged is generally high in concentration, which is extremely inappropriate as a concentration in the working environment in terms of occupational hygiene. Therefore, as a method for removing or recovering the monomer remaining in the polymerization vessel, several methods as shown below have been carried out or proposed.

The gas inside the polymerization reactor is suctioned out, or replaced with air, by a suction blower.

Each of these methods has its own problems. That is, depending on the amount of monomer, there is a risk of generating explosive gas, and it is generally difficult to recover the monomer in the exhaust gas.

This requires a pump to introduce water and a storage tank to hold the water, making the equipment large-scale and the cost of powering the pump cannot be ignored. Furthermore, in order to remove monomers dissolved in the water, this water must be treated with a stripper, increasing equipment and heat costs.

The construction cost is relatively small compared to , but it requires piping to introduce steam into the system and piping to take out the exhaust gas from the lower part of the polymerization reactor, which increases the construction cost accordingly.

The present invention involves extracting a slurry of a vinyl compound polymer from a polymerization vessel, then injecting water into the polymerization vessel,
By suctioning the gas inside the polymerization vessel from the upper part of the polymerization vessel while heating if desired, the remaining monomer is removed by steam (sweeping). For stirring, a stirrer in the polymerization vessel is rotated, and the discharged gas is condensed in stages.

Water to be injected into the polymerization vessel can be injected into the polymerization vessel via existing piping such as a feed water piping, a slurry cleaning piping, or a water injection piping for a polymerization agitator mechanical seal. Injection of water can be done in its entirety initially or continuously during sweeping. When injecting water continuously, the appropriate amount of water is 0.1 to 50/hr, preferably 1 to 10/hr, per unit volume (m 3 ) of the polymerization reactor. If the amount of water is too small, monomer removal will be insufficient. On the other hand, being too large is uneconomical. The water injected into the polymerization vessel is heated either by passing hot water through the jacket of the polymerization vessel, by injecting preheated water, or by a combination of both. When heating is carried out by passing hot water through the jacket of the polymerization vessel, it is preferable to stir the injected water with a stirrer installed in the polymerization vessel until the injected water reaches the desired temperature.

The temperature of the water injected into the polymerization vessel is suitably in the range of 30 to 90°C. If the temperature is below 30°C, the amount of water evaporated will be insufficient, and if it is above 90°C, the polymer scale adhering to the inner wall of the vessel may stick, so it is not suitable.

The amount of gas sucked into the polymerization vessel is 0.1 to 50Nm 3 /hr, preferably 1 to 10N per unit volume (m 3 ) of the polymerization vessel.
m 3 /hr is good. When it is less than 0.1 Nm 3 /hr, monomer removal is insufficient, while when it is more than 50 Nm 3 /hr, an excessively large blower is required and the efficiency of monomer removal becomes poor, which is not preferable.

The pressure inside the polymerization vessel is usually about 0.05 to 2 Kg/cm 2 -abs. At the beginning of the suction of gas in the polymerization vessel, the residual monomer concentration in the vessel is high, so the pressure inside the vessel is high, but at the end of gas suction, the pressure inside the vessel decreases and the saturated water vapor pressure of the water injected into the vessel is reached. The values will be close. At the end of gas suction, the pressure inside the chamber was reduced to 0.05Kg/cm 2 - abs.
Making it even smaller requires a high-vacuum exhaust blower, which is undesirable because it increases construction costs.

The evaporated water is discharged from the upper part of the polymerization vessel, taking with it the monomer remaining in the polymerization vessel. During this discharge, the stirrer inside the polymerization vessel is turned so as not to create a dead space within the polymerization vessel and to efficiently discharge monomers heavier than water vapor from the top of the polymerization vessel.

An exhaust blower is provided in the line for sucking the gas inside the polymerization vessel from the upper part of the polymerization vessel, and this blower sucks the gas inside the polymerization vessel. Suction is preferably performed by negative pressure suction. It is preferable to install a condenser on the suction side of the exhaust blower to condense water vapor and recover the monomer. However, when using a Natsushi pump (liquid ring vacuum pump) as the exhaust blower, it is not necessarily necessary to install a water condenser in front of the blower. The in-vessel gas suction line can be replaced by a line for recovering unreacted monomers at the end of polymerization. This unreacted monomer recovery line is usually equipped with a nutsch pump for negative pressure recovery.

The monomer sucked together with water vapor is sent to a recovery device via an exhaust blower, where it is recovered and reused. The time required for this sweeping varies depending on the amount of monomer in the polymerization vessel after the slurry is discharged and the allowable amount of monomer remaining after sweeping, but is usually in the range of 5 to 60 minutes.

As described above, the feature of the present invention is that unreacted monomers remaining in the polymerization vessel can be recovered without requiring any special equipment or piping.
It is located in a place where the inside of the polymerization vessel can be swept in a highly economical and efficient manner.

From this point, water at a temperature of 20°C is injected into the vessel at a flow rate of 200°C/hr, and hot water at 90°C is circulated through the jacket of the polymerization vessel, followed by negative pressure suction (approximately 7Nm 3 /hr) from the top of the polymerization vessel using a nut pump. ) while performing internal sweeping.
