A novel imido-modified SiO2-supported Ti/Mg Ziegler-Natta catalyst for ethylene and ethylene/1-hexene polymerization is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by modification of (SiO2/MgO/MgCl2)TiClx Ziegler-Natta catalysts via supporting vanadium species followed by reaction with p-tolyl isocyanate as imido agents, to get the merits from both the SiO2-supported imido vanadium catalyst and the ...

This article reviews the surface science of the heterogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts. The specific focus is on how to prepare and characterize stereochemically specific heterogeneous model catalysts for the Ziegler-Natta polymerization. Under clean, ultra-high vacuum conditions, low-energy electron irradiation during the chemical vapor deposition of model Ziegler-Natta catalysts can be...

a fourth-generation ziegler-natta catalyst was prepared to synthesize polypropylene (pp), which was stabilized by in situ polymerization employing lignin as antioxidant. the antioxidant properties of lignin were compared with those of the commercial antioxidant irganox 1010. the presence of lignin in the reaction medium slightly decreased the catalytic activity of the reaction. the isotacticity...

a linear low density polyethylene (lldpe) production process, including two- fuidized bed reactors in series (fbrs) and other process equipment, was completely simulated by aspen polymer plus software. fluidized bed reactors were considered as continuous stirred tank reactors (cstr consisted of polymer and gas phases). poly-srk and nrtl-rk equations of state were used to describe polymer and no...

in this article, a complete model for the mixed flow slurry reactor for polymerization of ethylene to high density polyethylene in the presence of ziegler-natta catalyst is presented. in addition to the effects of the multiple active sites, the effect of other important parameters such as the catalyst concentration, co-catalyst, hydrogen, monomer, impurities and pressure on the mass-average and...

in this study, the slurry polymerization of ethylene over ticl4/mgcl2/alet3 was obtained. firstly, to obtain the optimum value of [al]/[ti], the effect of [al]/[ti] on polymerization rate and catalyst yield was studied. also, the effect of catalyst content on yielding, crystallization, melting point and density of product were obtained. to determine the order of reaction, the monomer pressure w...

ethylene was polymerized in slurry phase over a ticl4/mg(oc2h5)2 catalyst activated by al(c2h5)3. it was shown experimentally that mass transfer resistance has no effect on polymerization kinetics. after estimation ofthe active site concentration by inhibition method with carbon monoxide, the effects of polymerization temperature, monomer and cocatalyst  oncentrations and hydrogen were investig...
