Effect of Polymerization Conditions on Polypropylene Synthesis in Liquid Monomer

Аннотация

The effect of polymerization conditions (temperature, polymerization time, monomer and hydrogen concentrations) on propylene polymerization in the liquid monomer in the presence of a TiCl₄/DBP/MgCl₂ + TEA/cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane catalyst system is studied . It is shown that the variation of the propylene polymerization conditions in the studied ranges leads to a change in the characteristics of the resulting polypropylene. The kinetic parameters of propylene polymerization in the liquid monomer for the studied catalyst system are determined. Polymerization conditions providing the formation of polypropylene with high polymer yield, isotacticity, and bulk density values are found. The process parameters that make it possible to effectively control the molecular and rheological characteristics of polypropylene are identified.
