Method of reducing fouling in an elastomer polymerization process that includes providing a reactor capable of housing an industrial-scale elastomer polymerization reaction, and applying a mechanical force to the reactor so as to create a vibration in at least one wall of the reactor, in which fouling is reduced in the reactor. In one embodiment the reaction is an industrial scale butyl polymerization reaction and the reactor is a butyl polymerization reactor.

Copolymer are formed by polymerizing C4 to C7 isoolefin monomers and alkyl-styrene monomers. The method comprises first providing feed streams into a reactor. The various feed streams provide monomers, a polar diluent or polar diluent mixture, and a catalyst system into the reactor. In the reactor, the feed streams contact one another so that the monomers form a polymer in a stable slurry, wherein the amount of polymer in the slurry yields a slurry concentration greater than 22 wt %. The ratio of moles of polymer formed per mole initiator is in the range of 0.25 to 4.0 moles polymer per mole of initiator.

The disclosure provides for a process and polymerization system to produce isoolefin polymers (72) utilizing polymorphogenates (16, 26) in the catalyst system to control polydispersity (MWD). The disclosure also provides a catalyst system (20) comprising a plurality of active catalyst complex species (34) formed by combination of a Lewis acid (24), an initiator (22) and a polymorphogenate (26), as well as polymers made using the catalyst system or process. The polymorphogenate (16, 26) can promote or mimic the formation of different active catalyst complex species (34) having different polymerization rates, i.e. different rates of propagation, chain transfer, or termination, as observed by different polydispersities resulting from the presence of relatively different proportions of the polymorphogenate.

Provided is a method for reducing depositions in polymerization vessels, where the method includes the steps of providing a reaction vessel having polymerization contact surfaces, polishing a majority of the polymerization contact surfaces to have an average percent excess surface areas (SAxs) of 2% or less, introducing a catalyst system and at least one monomer or comonomer mixture in the reaction vessel, and polymerizing the at least one monomer or comonomer mixture. The catalyst may be soluble in the diluent used for polymerization. The method may be useful for low temperature polymerization systems.

A cationic Group 3 or Lanthanide metal complex for coordination polymerization of olefins is disclosed. The precursor metal complex is stabilized by a monoanionic bidentate ancillary ligand and two monoanionic ligands. The ancillary ligand and the transition metal form a metallocycle having at least five primary atoms, counting any &pgr;-bound cyclopentadienyl group in the metallocycle as two primary atoms. Olefin polymerization is exemplified.

A carbocationic catalyst composition comprising an initiator of water, a tertiary alkyl or aralkyl halide, ester, ether, carboxylic acid, acid halide or a polymeric halide and a co-initiator of an alkoxy metal halide, is used to produce narrow molecular weight distribution olefin polymers particularly isobutylene/para-methyl-styrene copolymers.

The invention provides a process for producing a polyphenylene ether by subjecting a 2,6-disubstituted phenol to oxidative coupling by introducing oxygen in the presence of a catalyst system which comprises a manganese compound, a chelant, a base, and an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone, a beta-diketone, or a vinyl ether. The polyphenylene oxide produced has substantially no amine odor and more stable molecular weight, and is suitable for blending with styrenic or other resins to make thermoplastic resin blends of low odor and good physical properties.
摘要:
An improved process for producing a polyphenylene ether with low nitrogen content and low odor properties employs, for oxidative coupling of a 2,6-disubstituted phenol, a novel catalyst comprising a copper compound, a diamine, a tertiary amine, a quaternary compound and an unsaturated compound. The new polyphenylene ether is suitable for polymer blending, with, for example, styrenic resins, to make low odor blends.

Provided for herein is a process to produce an essentially homogeneous single liquid phase hydrocarbon-rubber cement from a polymer slurry comprising a hydrocarbon-rubber, a diluent, and unreacted monomer(s), the process comprising: (a) contacting the polymer slurry with a hydrocarbon solvent; and (b) removing the diluent in amounts not sufficiently more than is necessary to produce the essentially homogeneous single liquid phase hydrocarbon-rubber cement wherein the mass fraction of monomer(s) in the hydrocarbon-rubber cement, based on the total amount of hydrocarbon-rubber present in the hydrocarbon-rubber cement, is less than the mass fraction of monomer(s) in the hydrocarbon-rubber slurry, based on the total amount of hydrocarbon-rubber present in the hydrocarbon-rubber slurry, wherein the diluent comprises a hydrofluorocarbon.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an in-line method for generating comonomer, such as 1-hexene or 1-octene, from monomer, such as ethylene. The comonomer generated is directly transported, without isolation or storage, to a polyethylene polymerization reactor. The in-line method for generating comonomer includes the steps of providing an in-line comonomer synthesis reactor and a downstream gas/liquid phase separator prior to a polyethylene polymerization reactor; feeding ethylene monomer and a catalyst in a solvent to the comonomer synthesis reactor; reacting the ethylene monomer and the catalyst in solvent under reaction conditions to produce an effluent stream including ethylene monomer and comonomer; passing the effluent stream from the comonomer synthesis reactor to the downstream gas/liquid phase separator to separate a gas stream from a bottom stream, wherein the gas stream is a mixture of ethylene monomer, and comonomer; and passing the gas stream to the polyethylene polymerization reactor to provide the necessary comonomer input. The in-line method is useful in the production of LLDPE, and other branched polyethylene based polymers. Some benefits include process simplification and reduced capital and operating costs.
