- Abstract
Dynamic crystallization (DC) is a fractionation technique to enhance physical separation of polymers with different chain crystallizabilities by crystallizing polymer chains from solution in a column under a constant flow rate. In this work, a mathematical model for describing fractionation mechanism of dynamic crystallization based on the concept of population balance, crystallization kinetic, and dispersion models is proposed by the first time. The model was validated with experimental DC analysis of three ethylene/1-octene copolymers. The simulated DC profiles were found to describe experimental results well.
