Abstract:
Process for preparing a broad molecular weight polyethylene by polymerizing ethylene in the presence of a polymerization catalyst, the process comprising the following steps, in any mutual order: a) polymerizing ethylene, optionally together with one or more a-olefinic comonomers having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, in a gas-phase reactor in the presence of hydrogen, b) copolymerizing ethylene with one or more a-olefinic comonomers having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms in another gas-phase reactor in the presence of an amount of hydrogen less than step a), where in at least one of said gas-phase reactors the growing polymer particles flow upward through a first polymerization zone under fast fluidization or transport conditions, leave said first polymerization zone and enter a second polymerization zone through which they flow downward under the action of gravity.

Abstract:
Process for the gas-phase catalytic polymerization of olefins carried out in a plurality of interconnected polymerization zones, the process comprising feeding one or more monomers to said polymerization zones in the presence of a catalyst under reaction conditions and collecting the polymer product from said polymerization zones, in which process the polymer particles grow within a first polymerization zone where a fluidized bed is formed, at least a part of said polymer particles leave said first polymerization zone to enter a second polymerization zone through which they flow downward, leave said second polymerization zone and enter a third polymerization zone through which they flow upward under fast fluidization or transport conditions, leave said third polymerization zone and are reintroduced into the first polymerization zone, thus establishing a circulation of polymer between the different polymerization zones.
