The ABS resin is ternary copolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Emulsion graft polymerization is the most commonly used and most mature process for synthesizing ABS resin. At present, the stirrer used in the emulsion polymerization process in the industrial production of ABS resin is usually a multi-layer stirrer in combination, the stirrer in the upper light liquid area of the reaction kettle is more biased to shear liquid, the stirrer in the lower heavy liquid area of the reaction kettle is more biased to promote the suspension uniformity of dispersed phase liquid drops in the kettle and enhance the heat exchange effect of a heat exchange element. However, in the production process of polybutadiene latex, the dispersed phase butadiene needs to be continuously supplemented along with the reaction, the liquid level in the reaction kettle is increased from 40% to 80% in the whole reaction process, so that in most of the time of the reaction process, the stirrer for shearing the liquid above the reaction kettle cannot be fully utilized, and finally the particle size and the particle size distribution of the product in the reaction kettle cannot meet the requirements of the next process.
