In the manufacture of polymer suspensions, good spacetime yields, a narrow particle size distribution and good polymer properties are obtained in a relatively uncomplicated apparatus which includes a plurality of reactors having a length/diameter ratio of at least 4, the first reactor standing vertically and the others approximately horizontally. Plug flow of the polymerization mixture is maintained in the reaction zones provided by the reactors. In the first such zone, up to 10% of the polymerization is carried out, with agitation, preferably at a stirring energy per unit volume of 0.1 to 5 kWm.sup.-3. Wall encrustation is substantially prevented, particularly in the second reaction zone, through the use of smooth, non-metallic surfaces in the zone.

Continuous process and device for the manufacture of a vinyl chloride

A process and device for determining a hormone in a liquid such as blood wherein measured amounts of the liquid to be tested, of a radioactively-labelled hormone, and of a hormone-binding protein or antibody, all present in a measuring vial, are contacted with an adsorbing vial formed from a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and an ion exchange resin for adsorbing unbound hormone, and the residual radioactivity of the liquid mixture is then measured after draining back into said measuring vial.
