摘要:
A process for producing polyethylene having a broad molecular weight distribution is provided, in which ethylene and optionally a comonomer are contacted in two reactors connected in series, one reactor containing a titanium-based catalyst and the other reactor containing a vanadium-based catalyst and a halohydrocarbon promoter, or alternatively, both reactors containing a mixed metal catalyst comprising both titanium and vanadium. In the latter case, the halohydrocarbon promoter is present in only one of the reactors to activate the vanadium sites of the catalyst and deactivate the titanium sites of the catalyst simultaneously.

摘要:
An improved support vanadium catalyst, especially an improved Beran et al. catalyst system and ethylene polymerization process in which the improvement derives from fixing the promoter to a component of the catalyst composition such that it is a molecularly structural component of the catalyst and thus is not separately fed to the polymerization reaction, but instead is part of the catalyst composition fed to the reaction.
