Patent number: 8298978Abstract: Single site reactor/catalyst continuity in a dispersed phase reaction in terms of initial activation and subsequent deactivation may be improved by treating the support with a metal salt. The activator and catalyst are then deposited on the treated support. The resulting catalyst has a lower consumption of ethylene during initiation and a lower rate of deactivation. Preferably the catalyst is used with an antistatic agent.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Nova Chemicals (International) S.A.Inventors: Xiaoliang Gao, Billy Gaspar Santos, Peter Phung Minh Hoang, Amy Marie Jones, Benjamin Milton Shaw, Ian Ronald Jobe
