Strict morphological control over growing polymer particles is an indispensable requirement in many catalytic olefin polymerization processes. In catalysts with mechanically stronger supports, e. g., polymerization-grade silicas, the emergence of extensive cracks via sectioning fragmentation mechanism requires severe stress build-up polymerizing catalyst particle. Here, we report on three facto...

in present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. a double active sites model for ziegler-natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with differentiall...

A method for the determination of Ti and V using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP OES) in Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalysts is proposed. The concentrations of both Ti and V are efficiently determined after catalyst acid digestion with a mixture of HNO3 + HCl + HF and heating (160 degrees C for 6 h) or with 10% (v/v) H2SO4 and heating (160 degrees C for 6 h) or w...

Abstract The scientific and technical advances in the field of polymer science has been abundant recent years. Amongst various polymeric materials available market, synthesis polyolefins forefront since decades. A major challenge this domain remains attaining stereoregular especially polypropylene (PP) significant efforts were carried out by synthesizing internal donors (ID) aiding catalysts in...
