  • Publication number: 20240076418
    Abstract: A process or apparatus for producing polyethylene with improved film thinning and handleability involves polymerizing high-pressure ethylene using an autoclave-type reactor in the presence of a polymerization initiator. The reaction zone of the reactor has at least two different temperature sections; the polymerization initiator and the ethylene are supplied to the upstream temperature section in the reaction zone and the ethylene is polymerized to generate polyethylene; unreacted ethylene and the polyethylene generated at the upstream temperature section in the reactor flow into the downstream temperature section in communication with the upstream temperature section, so that additional polyethylene is generated at the downstream temperature section. A difference (?T [° C.]) between a temperature (T1 [° C.]) of the temperature section positioned upstream and a temperature (T2 [° C.

  • Patent number: 11713363
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing high-pressure method low-density polyethylene, the apparatus and the method having excellent characteristics that the amount of smoke generated during processing of a polyethylene to be obtained is small, and the number of fish eyes contained in a film formed from the polyethylene is small. An apparatus for manufacturing high pressure method polyethylene includes: an ethylene supply line that is a line branched from a high pressure recycle ethylene line and connected to a recycle ethylene holding drum for decompressing high pressure recycle ethylene from the high pressure recycle ethylene line and supplying the decompressed recycle ethylene to the recycle ethylene holding drum; and the recycle ethylene holding drum that is a drum for holding the decompressed recycle ethylene through the ethylene supply line.

  • Patent number: 11708427
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing high-pressure method low-density polyethylene, the apparatus and the method having excellent characteristics that a chain transfer agent can be supplied by a simpler apparatus, a deviation (variation) of the concentration of the chain transfer agent supplied to a reactor can be reduced, and compression energy of the chain transfer agent can be reduced. An apparatus for manufacturing high-pressure method polyethylene includes a chain transfer agent supply line that is a line connected to a low pressure recycle ethylene supply line for supplying a chain transfer agent.
