Modelling Studies on the Synthesis of Superabsorbent Hydrogels Using Population Balance Equations

The synthesis of super-absorbent hydrogels is simulated using a kinetic model based upon population balance equations of generating functions. Dynamics in a batch reactor of properties such as the weight fraction of gel or average molecular weights of the soluble fraction can be predicted. This kine...
