20110257350 | Polymer mitigation - Ethylene is selectively oligomerized in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) that is preferably operated in an isothermal manner using a chromium catalyst. The undesired formation of by-product polyethylene is mitigated by contacting the ethylene with hydrogen prior to adding the ethylene to the reactor and feeding the ethylene and hydrogen via a common feed port. | 10-20-2011 |
20110282016 | Oligomerization - The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst having a phosphorus-nitrogen-phosphorus (“P—N—P”) ligand is typically activated with an aluminoxane. The addition of an alkyl zinc, particularly diethyl zinc, has been fund to improve the productivity of certain oligomerization reactions. In particular, the addition of diethyl zinc to an oligomerization reaction that is activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) improves the productivity of the reaction. | 11-17-2011 |
20120101321 | Ethylene oligomerization - The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst having a bridged diphosphine ligand can produce a selective product distribution (to predominantly hexene or predominantly octene/hexene) when activated with an aluminoxane. The oligomerization reaction also produces polymer by product—particularly when the aluminoxane is provided in a non-aromatic solvent. The present invention mitigates this problem. | 04-26-2012 |
20120142989 | HEAT MANAGEMENT IN ETHYLENE OLIGOMERIZATION - The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst having a heteroatomic ligand may be used to provide oligomerization products that are selective towards hexene and/or octene. However, such processes also typically produce some polymer as an undesirable by product. The present invention is directed towards improvements in the selective oligomerization of ethylene. | 06-07-2012 |
20120271087 | Activation for Oligomerization - The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst and an aluminoxane activator is well known.
