POLYMERIZATION PROCESS USING A DUAL SHEAR MIXING ELEMENT

摘要

A dual shear mixing element (1) for use in a chemical reactor (2). The device may be used in processes where liquids of different temperatures need to be thoroughly mixed in a short period of time and solute must stay in solution. The present invention is particularly useful in the solution polymerization of polyolefins, especially in the medium pressure process for the preparation of linear low density polyethylene.
