摘要:
A process for the preparation of a chromium-type supported olefin polymerization catalyst. A fluidized bed of support particles in an inert carrier gas is established. A chromium (III) compound is added to the fluidized support particles to provide a supported catalyst component. The supported catalyst component is activated to convert at least a portion of the chromium (III) to Chromium (VI). The chromium (III) containing particles may be recovered from the fluidized bed and then activated or they may be activated in the fluidized bed. Also the support particles can be treated in the fluidized bed with other treatment agents. The support particles may be pretreated with a solution of a boron treating agent prior to incorporation of the support in the fluidized bed.

Methods for improving heat transfer in polymerization processes are described herein. The methods generally include contacting olefin monomer with a catalyst system within a reaction zone to form particles having a first average particle size and altering the reaction zone to improve heat transfer and form polymer particles having a second average particle size. For example, the second average particle size may be larger than the first average particle size and the second particle size results in improved heat transfer over the first particle size.

A method of preparing a reaction mixture comprising a styrene monomer, an antioxidant, and a reaction rate improving additive, contacting the reaction mixture with an antioxidant reactive compound, and placing the reaction mixture under conditions suitable for polymerization of the styrene monomer to a styrenic polymer wherein the polymerization occurs at an overall reaction rate that is increased by equal to or less than 20% when compared to an otherwise similar polymerization process carried out in the absence of the reaction rate improving additive. The reaction rate improving additive can be a sodium or calcium salt of an organic acid.
