Abstract: The gaseous phase homo-and copolymerization of ethylene has been studied in the presence of TiCl4/MgCl2/ZnCl2/SiCl4/alcohol/Al(i-Bu )3 highly active catalyst which was prepared by comilling-reaction procedure.It was found that the catalytic efficiency and bulk density of PEdecreased with increase in content of titanium compound.The added i-C3H7OHraises the catalytic performance and improves the morphology as well as particle distribution of the PEwith a optimum dosage of i-C3H7OH/MgCl2=1.0-1.5.The kinetics of gaseous phase ethylene polymerization has been investigated.The polymerization rate equation in good agreement with experimental evidence is expressed as:vt-vs=(v0-vs)e-βt.The morphologies of the catalyst before and after prepolymerization as well as PE and LLDPE were examined by SEM.The structures and properties of the PEwith LLDPE were studied by WAXD,DSC and 13C NMR.
