  • Olefin polymerization process with little or no scavenger present
    Patent number: 5763543
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for the polymerization of olefin(s) utilizing a metallocene catalyst or catalyst system in a continuous slurry or gas phase polymerization process for polymerizing monomer(s). The invention is more particularly drawn to a gas phase polymerization process for polymerizing one or more olefin(s), alone or in combination, in the presence of a metallocene catalyst system in a fluidized bed reactor, preferably operating in a condensed mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 9, 1998
    Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Elroy Muhle, Gary Thomas Renola, Agapios Kyriacos Agapiou, Dwayne Lee Litteer, John Robert Griffin
  • Polymerization process
    Patent number: 5712352
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for the polymerization of olefin(s) utilizing a metallocene catalyst or catalyst system in a continuous slurry or gas phase polymerization process. The invention is more particularly drawn to a gas phase polymerization process for polymerizing one or more olefin(s) in the presence of a metallocene catalyst system in a fluidized bed reactor in the absence of or with a low mount of a scavenger.
