Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of preparing polyethylene compositions comprising polymerizing ethylene in a first gas-phase reactor and polymerizing ethylene in a second gas-phase reactor in the presence of hydrogen; wherein at least one of the first or second gas-phase reactors comprises a first and second polymerization zone; wherein a hydrogen pressure of the first and second polymerization zones are different such that at least a portion of the second ethylene cycles through the first and second polymerization zones and a gas mixture of each polymerization zone is partially or totally prevented from entering the other zone.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a polyethylene composition comprising the following steps: (a) providing at least a first amount of ethylene to a first gas-phase reactor; (b) providing at least a first amount of Ziegler-Natta catalyst to the first gas-phase reactor to produce at least a first amount of polyethylene polymer within the first gas-phase reactor; (c) transferring at least a portion of the first amount of polyethylene polymer and at least a portion of…
