PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN OLEFINIC POLYMER

摘要

The invention relates to a process and a device that are suitable for the preparation of a polymer based on an olefinic monomer and optionally one or more comonomers that are copolymerisable therewith, in a horizontal reactor, divided into at least two zones and fitted with a stirring mechanism, which is operated under subfluidisation conditions, the polymer formed being discharged from the reactor separately from other reactor effluent, it being possible to vary the composition of the overall feed to be supplied to a zone between two zones at least and the reactor effluent separated from polymer leaving the reactor as a single stream, at least part of this stream being returned to the reactor as feed after one or more separating steps.
