full factorial experimental design (23) for the evaluation of slurry ethylene polymerization in the presence of an industrial ticl4/mgcl2 ziegler-natta catalyst was employed. the following parameters were used as independentvariables: al/ti molar ratio, reaction temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. the total polymerization pressure was 9 bar. catalyst activity, mfi (melt flow index) and m...

Models for the likely active catalysts in homogeneous Ziegler-Natta systems have been studied using ab initio quantum chemical methods. We investigated the geometries of the isoelectronic model complexes, X2M-R where X = C1 or Cp = (q5-CsHs); where M = Sc and Ti+ (and also Ti); and where R = H, CH3, or SiH3. The general trend is that the M = Sc compounds strongly prefer a planar configuration, ...

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...

Four chromium based oxo-trinuclear carboxylate complexes were prepared by reacting chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate with acetic acid and substituted carboxylic acids. They were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Chromium content of the complexes was determined by titrimetry method. The chromium(III) monochloroacetate complex, [Cr3O(ClCH2COO)6.3H2O]NO3.3H2O in combination with d...

In Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization, the pore architecture of catalysts plays a crucial role in catalytic performances and polymer properties. While the type of preparation routes (such as chemical reaction and solution precipitation) greatly affects the catalyst pore architecture as a result of different solidification mechanisms, the modification of the pore architecture within a given rou...

The most commonly used cocatalyst species in Ziegler-Natta catalysts are aluminium alkyls. In this study we aim to find the interaction between aluminium centres of these activators and other components in the ZNC system. Initially we look at binary systems of Al-alkyl/MgCl2 and ternary systems of Al-alkyl/MgCl2/TiCl4, followed by donor containing systems. The aluminium alkyls prove to be very ...
