Process for recycling inert particulate materials.

摘要

Process for recycling inert particulate materials used in sticky polymer polymerization reactors by discharging the sticky polymer having unbound inert material on its surface into a product hold tank maintained at a lower pressure than the polymerization reactor and thereafter contacting said polymer with a sweep gas and at a velocity sufficient to remove the inert particulate material which is then recycled to the polymerization reactor.
