GAS-PHASE POLYMERIZATION OF ALPHA-OLEFINS

摘要

A method for preparing polyolefin from alpha-olefin with high productivity using an internal circulating fluidized bed polymerization reactor is disclosed. The method for gas-phase polymerization of alpha-olefin comprising the steps of: supplying circulation gas including one or more alpha-olefins and inert gas into a polymerization reactor; polymerizing the alpha-olefin to polyolefin in two separated polymerisation areas in the polymerization reactor; and discharging produced polyolefin from the polymerization reactor. The polymerization reactor is divided into the two polymerization areas by a draft tube, and an inside of the draft tube forms a riser where growing polyolefin polymers move up in fast fluidization, and an outside of the draft tube forms an annulus where the polyolefin polymers passing the riser move down by gravity, and the polyolefin polymers passing the annulus are introduced to a lower part of the riser again, so that the polyolefin polymers are polymerized during circulating between the riser and the annulus.
