Zusammenfassung: | A process for the production of elastomeric polypropylene is disclosed. The process entails contacting the propylene monomer neat or in an unreactive hydrocarbon solvent, with a catalyst in a recirculated, stirred reactor at a temperature of about 60 DEG to 80 DEG C. thereby producing elastomeric polypropylene. The reactor contents are in the slurry/solution phase and are essentially free of catalyst poisons. The reactor is capable of recirculating contents that are very viscous such that the reactor contents are well mixed while a portion of the contents of the reactor containing propylene, any solvent, and elastomeric polypropylene are continually removed by the use of a high viscosity pump to recover the elastomeric polypropylene. |
