Patent number: 9708418Abstract: A process for recycling solvent used in an ethylene-based polymerization comprising: passing a solvent stream which has been used in a first ethylene-based solvent polymerization reactor through an online purification bed to produce a recycle solvent stream, wherein the solvent stream prior to being passed through the online purification bed comprises solvent, ethylene, hydrogen, polymerization by-products and optionally comonomer; and passing the recycle solvent stream from the online purification bed to a second ethylene-based solvent polymerization reactor; wherein the second ethylene-based solvent polymerization reactor exhibits a catalyst efficiency dip of less than or equal to 20% for no longer than a forty-eight hour period following a swap of the online purification bed to a regenerated purification bed which contains an adsorbent having low reactivity to alkenes is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: DOW GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Stacey Hyde, Anthony J. Castelluccio, Frederik E. Gemoets

Patent number: 9006342Abstract: The invention relates to a polyethylene composition with a bimodal molecular weight distribution and articles made therefrom, such as high topload blow moldings and transmission and distribution pipes. The composition comprises a low-molecular-weight (LMW) ethylene homopolymer component and a homogeneous, high-molecular-weight (HMW) ethylene interpolymer component, wherein the LMW component is characterized as having a molecular weight distribution, MWDL, of less than about 8. The composition is characterized as having a bimodal molecular weight distribution, and a ductile-brittle transition temperature, Tdb, of less than ?20° C. In some embodiments, the HMW component is characterized by a reverse comonomer distribution.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Jozef J. Van Dun, Patrick J. C. Schouterden, Kalyan Sehanobish, Peter F. van den Berghen, Noorallah Jivraj, Johan Vanvoorden, Ruddy A. J. Nicasy, Ravindra S. Dixit, Frederik E. Gemoets
