Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A polymer synthesis system has a polymerization reactor and a deliquifying-quench extruder downstream of and in fluid communication with the polymerization reactor. The polymerization reactor has an inlet and an outlet with a rotatable shaft positioned axially within the reactor. The deliquifying-quench extruder has an inlet and an outlet, with a shaft assembly positioned axially within the extruder. The shaft assembly includes multiple helical flight configurations and multiple processing zones defined by the multiple flight configurations. The processing zones include an extraction-compaction zone, a sealing zone downstream of the extraction-compaction zone, a vent-cooling zone downstream of the sealing zone, a quenching zone downstream of the vent-cooling zone, and a conveying zone downstream of the quenching zone.
