Definitions
- Polymerisation of the monomers can be carried out in the gas phase (the "gas phase process”), for example by fluidising under polymerisation conditions a bed comprising the target polyolefin powder and particles of the desired catalyst using a fluidising gas stream comprising the gaseous monomer.
- the (co)polymerisation is conducted by introducing the monomer into a solution or suspension of the catalyst in a liquid hydrocarbon diluent under conditions of temperature and pressure such that the produced polyolefin forms as a solution in the hydrocarbon diluent.
- the temperature, pressure and choice of diluent are such that the
- polymer forms as a suspension in the liquid hydrocarbon diluent.
- These processes are generally operated at relatively low pressure (for example 10-50 bar) and low temperature (for example 50 to 150°C).
- Commodity polyethylenes are commercially produced in a variety of different types and grades. Homopolymerisation of ethylene with transition metal based catalysts leads to the production of so-called "high density" grades of polyethylene. These polymers have relatively high stiffness and are useful for making articles where inherent rigidity is required.
- Copolymerisation of ethylene with higher 1-olefins eg butene, hexene or octene
- transition metal-containing organic complex compounds have provided catalysts with potentially high activity and capable of providing an improved distribution of the comonomer units.
- these types of catalyst are the so-called "metallocene” types of catalysts, for example, those based on biscyclopentadienylzirconiumdichloride, and the non- metallocene types which include a very large variety of organic transition metal- based complex catalysts.
- Both the "metallocene” and the “non-metallocene” types of catalysts generally require the use of special organometallic compounds to convert them into "active" polymerisation catalysts.
- activators or "co-catalysts"
- alkylaluminium type especially the so-called "aluminoxanes”.
- Aluminoxanes are commercially available compounds generally prepared by controlled partial hydrolysis of trialkylaluminium compounds.
- the commercially available aluminoxanes are expensive and generally suffer from a number of disadvantages the most important of which are the variability of performance when employed to activate the transition metal complex, and the need to use large quantities to achieve reasonable catalyst activity.
