PROCESS FOR THE POLYMERISATION OF OLEFINS

摘要

A process for the polymerisation of olefins comprising the steps of: a) passing an olefin-containing hydrocarbon feedstock over a sorbent material comprising nickel deposited on a support material wherein said nickel is present as both nickel oxide and metallic nickel; b) converting at least part of the olefins contained in said hydrocarbon feedstock into a polymer over one or more metallocene catalysts; and c) recovering the polymer product.
