Abstract
A mathematical model consisting of kinetic and energy parts is proposed to describe the synthesis of rubber on a neodymium-containing catalytic system. A generalized model of the combined processes of chemical transformation and heat transfer is represented by a set of heat balance equations and the initial moments of the molecular-weight distribution under steady-state conditions. Using the mathematical model proposed, the optimal parameters of the rubber synthesis in a cascade of continuous reactors are determined. In the optimization, the number of reactors was increased. The optimal parameters were chosen at the maximal output and required molecular-weight characteristics ensuring the high quality of the polymer produced.
