Abstract

This invention provides a method and an apparatus for controlling a polymerization reaction. The temperature difference between a target temperature, calculated from the degradation rate of a polymerization initiator, which varies as a function of temperature, and a polymerization reactor temperature is calculated. The difference in polymerization rate between a target polymerization rate previously set and a polymerization rate calculated from a measured heat release value at a certain time in the polymerization process is calculated. The temperature inside the reactor is finely adjusted on the basis of the temperature difference and the difference in polymerization rate.
