Abstract: In processes and systems having a loop slurry polymerization reactor, a sample separator can be operated at low pressure conditions that provide better separation of liquids from a sample of the reactor effluent, so that measurement of the composition of the vapor phase recovered from the sample separator can more accurately reflect the composition of the liquid in the loop slurry polymerization reactor compared to the composition of the vapor phase recovered from the product separator.

Abstract: Methods for modifying a catalyst system component are disclosed in which a feed mixture containing a fluid and from 1 to 15 wt. % of a catalyst system component is introduced into an inlet of a hydrocyclone, an overflow stream containing from 0.1 to 5 wt. % solids and an underflow stream containing from 10 to 40 wt. % solids are discharged from the hydrocyclone, and the underflow stream is spray dried to form a modified catalyst component. Often, from 4 to 20 wt. % of the catalyst system component in the feed mixture has a particle size of less than or equal to 20 ?m, or less than or equal to 10 ?m.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon compound and carbon monoxide are reacted in the presence of either a supported chromium (VI) catalyst or a supported chromium (II) catalyst, optionally with UV-visible light irradiation and/or exposure to an oxidizing atmosphere, followed by removing a reaction product containing an alcohol compound and/or a carbonyl compound from the respective chromium catalyst. Often, the reaction product contains one or more ketone and/or aldehyde compounds.
