Petrochemical complex containing an olefin monomer polymerization plant having at least one polymerization reactor and an optional degassing section. The polymerization reactor contains process hydrocarbons consisting of the monomer, the optional comonomer(s) and optionally at least one inert hydrocarbon diluent, together with aluminum containing compound(s). The polymerization plant includes liquid purge stream(s) which contain aluminum containing compounds and optionally polymer fines, together with accumulated hydrocarbons which are different from the process hydrocarbons and which are hydrocarbons containing at least 4 carbon atoms. The petrochemical complex also contains a multipurpose hydrocarbon treatment unit which separates the liquid purge stream(s) into one stream having substantially all of the aluminum containing compounds and optional polymer fines, and one stream containing the accumulated hydrocarbons. The petrochemical complex also contains an upgrading unit for the treatment of the accumulated hydrocarbons which also produces the fresh monomer and/or comonomer for the polymerization reaction.

Vents and micro-structures of rubber molds may become clogged with rubber that is difficult to remove. These vents and micro-structures can be cleaned of rubber, even if heat aged, by subjecting the mold to high temperatures in the presence of a solvent to devulcanize any rubber present. If the rubber used with the mold being cleaned includes carbon black, a solvent may be used to dissolve the devulcanized polymer, leaving the carbon black which can be removed by water jets or other cleaning means.

A polymerization reactor for producing aqueous polymer dispersions by radically initiated emulsion polymerization of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of one or more protective colloids and/or emulsifiers, is cleaned by initially charging an aqueous mixture comprising one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, one or more protective colloids and/or emulsifiers, but no oxidation initiator, the proportion of ethylenically unsaturated monomers being 20 to 70% by weight of the aqueous mixture, heating the aqueous mixture to a temperature of 50° C. to 100° C. for 5 minutes to 3 hours, adding one or more initiators and optionally further starting materials, initiating polymerization, removing the aqueous polymer dispersion thus obtained from the polymerization reactor and post-treating the dispersion to remove wall deposits detached during the process.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing container; a stage on which a substrate is placed, the stage being provided in the processing container; a gas supply provided at a position facing the stage and configured to supply a first processing gas containing a first monomer and a second processing gas containing a second monomer into the processing container to form a film of a polymer on the substrate; and a driver configured to move the stage so as to change a distance between the gas supply and the stage. The gas supply is configured to supply the first processing gas and the second processing gas into a space between the gas supply and the stage from an outside of a region on the stage in which the substrate is placed, when viewed in a direction from the gas supply toward the stage.

The present patent of invention describes a recycling process to recover fibrous reinforcing material of composite materials, particularly carbon fiber, primary reactor compound (101), for the controlled pyrolysis and oxidation of the composite material matrix (resin) at low temperature (400 C. to 500 C.) and a system for treating waste gases produced by thermal decomposition of composite material matrixes which employs a secondary reactor (201), containing within the same a thermal plasma arc (211). The main characteristic of the process, within the scope of the carbon fiber recycling, is the possibility of maintaining the fabric web, obtaining fabrics made of pure carbon fiber, without a significant amount of residues and preserving their structural characteristics. The thermal plasma allows managing high temperatures (2,000 C. to 15,000 C.) in a controlled atmosphere, which allows the dissociation of long chains of molecules into ions that are recombined to produce combustible gases and other acid or alkaline gases that are easily neutralized and retained in gas cleaning systems.
