Chelsey M. Broussard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11618791
    Abstract: A method of producing a supported catalyst includes introducing a dissolved catalyst solution into a catalyst mix vessel, and after introducing the dissolved catalyst solution into the catalyst mix vessel, introducing a porous support material into the catalyst mix vessel. The catalyst mix vessel is then operated to contact the dissolved catalyst solution on the porous support material and thereby generate the supported catalyst, and the supported catalyst is discharged from the catalyst mix vessel.

  • Publication number: 20210179743
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for producing a catalyst composition. A process may include mixing a catalyst compound having a transition metal atom, an activator, and a support to form a supported catalyst mixture. A process may also include drying the supported catalyst mixture at a pressure of about 10 kPa or less and a temperature of about 60° C. or greater for a period of about 6 h or less. The present disclosure also relates to processes for producing polyolefins. A process may include introducing a catalyst composition and at least one olefin to a polymerization reactor, where the catalyst composition has about 0.5 wt % to about 1.5 wt % aromatic hydrocarbon content, and less than 1 wt % of aliphatic hydrocarbon content. A process may also include obtaining a polyolefin having about 300 ppb or less aromatic hydrocarbon.
