摘要 |
A process for the production of polypropylene comprising continuously contacting liquid propylene or a mixture comprising liquid propylene and one or more other alpha-olefins in one or more reaction zones, under gas phase polymerization conditions, with a catalyst system comprising (i) a solid particulate catalyst precursor, which includes magnesium; titanium; a halogen which is chlorine, bromine, or iodine, or mixtures thereof; and, as an inside electron donor, a carboxylic acid ester; (ii) a hydrocarbylaluminum cocatalyst; and (iii) as an outside electron donor, a silicon compound containing at least one silicon-oxygen-carbon linkage, the particles of precursor being carried into the reaction zone(s) via a portion of the liquid propylene, the flow rate of said portion having a Reynolds number greater than about 15,000.
