Synthesis and Development of a Novel Ziegler-Natta Catalyst for SlurryPolymerization of Ethylene-۱-Butene Copolymers

The technical knowledge of polyolefin production is classified into catalyst synthesis andpolymerization processes. In this experimental research, a kind of Ziegler-Natta catalyst wassynthesized for the polymerization of ethylene slurry called "FAC", and ۱-butane was used as thecomonomer. The catalyst's performance was compared with two industrial catalysts, BCE and SAC.The catalytic activity of FAC was observed to be in between the two industrial catalysts.The particle size distribution of the polymer powder prepared using the FAC catalyst demonstrated arelatively narrow profile. In addition, promising results were obtained from GPC analysis. The resultsdemonstrated that the synthetic catalyst can produce high-density polyethylene grades with highmolecular weights and a broad molecular weight distribution.
