Abstract
A process for the high pressure polymerization of ethylene at elevated temperatures in a polymerization zone followed by transfer of the reaction mixture, through a cooling zone, into the separation zone. In this process, the pressure at the cooling zone outlet is periodically reduced briefly, at recurring intervals, these brief pressure reductions being independent of the pressure reductions in the polymerization zone. Using this process, the conversion in the polymerization unit can be increased and a more homogeneous ethylene polymer can be obtained.
