Abstract: A vinyl chloride polymer is prepared by repeating a
series of steps of charging a reactor with a vinyl chloride
monomer, effecting polymerization, removing a polymer slurry
from the reactor, and washing the inner wall of the reactor
with water. The washing step uses water in a volume of
0.01-0.5 m 3 /m 2  of the surface area of the reactor inner wall.
A vinyl chloride polymer of quality with minimal fisheyes is
produced. A reduction of the washing time leads to a
significant improvement in productivity.

Ces micro-miroir combinent un certain nombre des composantes individuelles de rayonnement réfléchies et les réfléchissent sur le détecteur. Ce détecteur reçoit les composantes individuelles de rayonnement combinées et crée un signal de sortie. L'analyseur est relié au détecteur de façon à recevoir ce signal de sortie et à analyser au moins quelques une des composantes individuelles de rayonnement constituant la réflexion combinée. Par l'utilisation d'un réseau de micro-miroirs qui module les composantes de rayonnement selon différents taux, toutes les composantes de rayonnement peuvent être focalisées dans un seul détecteur de façon à maximiser le rapport signal/bruit du détecteur.
