A PROCESS AND A CATALYST FOR PREVENTING REACTOR FOULING

摘要

A support containing methylalumoxane and derivatives thereof is described which is formed by an incipient impregnation technique. The most preferred support is silica. Incipient impregnation in accordance with the invention provides a supported alumoxane, methylalumoxane, which substantially eliminates the problem of fluidized bed reactor fouling when methylalumoxane is introduced into the reactor during its operation. In accordance with the invention, the process comprises providing methylalumoxane activated metallocene compound in particulate form as catalysts in fluidized bed gas phase operation.
