A process for preparing an olefin polymer, including the steps of forming a particulate olefin polymer in a gas-phase polymerization reactor in the presence of a C-Calkane as polymerization diluent, separating discharged polyolefin particles from concomitantly discharged gas at a pressure from 1 to 2.2 MPa, degassing the polyolefin particles at a pressure from 0.1 to 0.4 MPa with a gas made from or containing a C-Calkane; and transferring the separated gas and the gas from the degassing to a work-up unit operated at a pressure from 0.001 to 0.2 MPa below the pressure of the separation, wherein the gas for degassing is continuously received from the work-up unit.

Process for gas-phase polymerization of olefins

A process for preparing an ethylene polymer including the step of homopolymerizing ethylene or copolymerizing ethylene with one or more comonomers in a gas-phase polymerization reactor including a riser unit wherein growing polymer particles flow upwards under fluidization, fast fluidization or transport conditions and a downcomer wherein growing polymer particles flow downward in a densified form, wherein the hold-up of polymer particles in the downcomer is from 55 wt. % to 80 wt. % of the total hold-up of polymer particles in the gas-phase polymerization reactor.

Olefin polymerization process in a gas-phase reactor comprising a riser unit and a downcomer

A fluid is fed into a polymer bed of a fluidized bed gas phase polymerization reactor by introducing the fluid into the polymer bed through a distributor protruding into the fluidized bed zone of the reactor and terminating with a discharge end positioned so that the following equation is fulfilled:&#x3e;0.002wherein d is the distance of the distributor's discharge end from the wall of the reactor, and D is the diameter of the reactor in the fluidized bed zone.

The present disclosure generally relates to ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers and methods of making ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers. The ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers may have a density of about 0.915 g/mL to about 0.918 g/mL, a rheological polydispersity index greater than 0.8, a melt index of about 0.4 dg/10 min to about 2.0 dg/10 min, and/or a CEF Tof 84&#xb0; C. or less. The ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers may be made by combining an ethylene monomer and one or more alpha-olefin monomers in the presence of a catalyst, such as a Ziegler-Natta catalyst.

Process for the polymerization of olefins

A process for starting a multizone circulating reactor containing no polyolefin particles, comprising the steps of conveying gas through the reactor and the gas recycle line, feeding a particulate material comprising a polymerization catalyst and optionally polyolefin into the reactor, controlling the gas flow in a vertical reactor zone equipped with a throttling valve at the bottom so that the upwards gas velocity in the bottom part of this reaction zone is lower than the terminal free-fall velocity of the particulate material fed into the reactor, and, after the weight of the particulate polyolefin in this reactor zone is higher than the drag force of the upward moving gas, controlling the circulation rate of the polymer particles within the multizone circulating reactor by adjusting the opening of the throttling valve and adjusting the flow rate of a dosing gas.
