  • Patent number: 10562988
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a polyolefin including: (1) a step (1) of polymerizing one or more olefins in solution polymerization or slurry polymerization in the presence of a polymerization catalyst to produce a polymer solution, (2) a step (2) of taking out the polymer solution obtained in the step (1), and adding a catalyst deactivator in the polymer solution to deactivate the polymerization catalyst, and (3) a step (3) of removing volatile components in vacuum from the polymer solution where the polymerization catalyst has been deactivated, and including, between the step (2) and the step (3), a step of adding an additive to the polymer solution when the water concentration in the polymer solution is 5 ppm by mass or less.

  • Publication number: 20130296483
    Abstract: A method for producing an olefin oligomer mixture comprising: feeding a raw olefin oligomer mixture to a first evaporator; feeding a residue which is taken out from the first evaporator to a second evaporator, and returning a distillate which is distilled from the second evaporator to the first evaporator; taking a distillate out from the first evaporator; feeding a residue which is taken out from the second evaporator to a third evaporator; and taking a distillate out from the third evaporator.
