We show that it is possible to estimate kinetic parameters for complex mechanistic polymerization models from available industrial data. A methodology is developed for efficient handling and reconciliation of industrial ...

The behavior of continuous solution ethylene/but-1-ene polymerizations through Ziegler-Natta catalysts is analyzed, based on a previously developed mathematical model. In order to do that, dynamic simulations are carried ...

Polypropylene is one of the most consumed plastics in the world and its synthesis takes place mainly from the use of Ziegler-Natta catalyst systems, in which catalysts and their supports are compounds containing chlorine ...

The objective of this article is to present an approach to ascertain the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polymeric systems and its application to an industrial polyethylene reactor. Ascertaining the complete MWD can ...
