Disclosed in the present invention are ABS rubber powder with a low impurity content, a preparation method therefor, and an ABS resin. The ABS rubber powder is treated by using the following steps: washing the ABS rubber powder with a washing solution I, and monitoring the content of soluble organic carbon in the ABS rubber powder until the content of soluble organic carbon in the ABS rubber powder is less than or equal to 9000 ppm, so as to obtain the ABS rubber powder with the low impurity content. In the present invention, by controlling the content of soluble organic carbon or the contents of soluble organic carbon and iron ions in the ABS powder, the ABS resin with a low yellow index of less than or equal to 18 is obtained.

Disclosed is a method of preparing a vinyl cyanide compound-conjugated diene rubber-aromatic vinyl compound graft copolymer, a method of preparing a thermoplastic resin composition including the same, and a thermoplastic resin composition including the same. More specifically, when a conjugated diene compound and a molecular weight regulator are fed in a split manner during polymerization of conjugated diene rubber, and the content of an emulsifier is reduced, gel content may be reduced. In addition, when enlarged conjugated diene-based rubber latex is prepared by enlarging conjugated diene-based rubber latex using an acid enlarging agent, the enlarged conjugated diene-based rubber latex may have an expanded full width at half maximum in particle size distribution, thereby improving gloss, reflection haze, fluidity, and impact resistance. In addition, deposits may be reduced during injection molding.

The present invention relates to a polymerization process, comprising: a) supplying a feed containing ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin having 3 to 12 carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon solvent to a polymerization reactor, b) contacting the feed of step a) in the reactor with a catalyst to form a reaction mixture containing an ethylene-alpha-olefin co-polymer, c) withdrawing the reaction mixture from the polymerization reactor as a reactor outlet stream which comprises the ethylene-alpha-olefin co-polymer, unreacted monomer and comonomer, catalyst, and hydrocarbon solvent, d) heating the reactor outlet stream to a temperature which is at least 5° C. higher than the temperature of the reaction mixture at the outlet of the reactor for a time period of between 1 and 250 seconds in order to de-activate the polymerization catalyst, and e) separating hydrocarbon solvent, monomer and comonomer from the reactor outlet stream and recycling it back to the polymerization reactor without further purification steps.

The present invention relates to a process for removing hydrocarbons comprising the steps of: (A) passing a stream of a solution into a separator wherein a liquid phase comprising polymer and a vapour phase coexist; (B) withdrawing a vapour stream and a concentrated solution stream from the separator; (C) passing at least a part of the vapour stream into a first fractionator; (D) withdrawing a first overhead stream and a first bottom stream from the first fractionator; (E) passing the first overhead stream to a second fractionator; (F) withdrawing a second overhead stream and a second bottom stream from the second fractionator; (G) passing the second overhead stream to a third fractionator; (H) withdrawing a third overhead stream and a third bottom stream from the third fractionator;
characterised in that at least a part of the third bottom stream is withdrawn as a purge stream.
