Abstract: The present invention deals with a process for producing pellets from olefin copolymers. The process comprises: (i) melting the olefin copolymer in an extruder; (ii) extruding the molten olefin copolymer through a die plate into a pellet water bath in a pelletiser thereby producing strands of the olefin copolymer; (iii) cutting the strands of the olefin copolymer in the pelletiser into pellets; and (iv) drying the pellets. The pellet water in the pelletiser contains from 0.1 to 5% by weight of a colloidal silica based on the weight of the water.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for separating hydrogen from a gaseous feed stream in a polymerisation process, comprising the steps i) polymerising an olefin monomer and optionally at least one olefin comonomer, in the presence of a solvent optionally in the presence of hydrogen, so as to form a polymerisation reaction mixture comprising a polyolefin polymer, unreacted monomer(s), solvent and hydrogen; ii) separating said polyolefin polymer from said unreacted monomer(s), solvent and hydrogen; iii) feeding said unreacted monomer(s) and hydrogen to a condenser so as to form said gaseous feed stream; iv) contacting said gaseous feed stream with a hydrogen separating membrane so as to form a hydrogen-rich gaseous stream and a hydrogen-lean gaseous stream.
