Abstract: Ti-Mg catalyst treated by novel prepolymerization in C2H4/H2 atmosphere shows a high activity and non-decaying kinetic profiles in gas-phase ethylene polymerization.The prepolymerization drastically reduces the initial polymerization rate and increases the bulk density (BD) of the resulting polymer product, exhibiting a similarity to the prepolymerization in C2H4/N2 atmosphere, Characterization of the resulting polymer particle by SEMdemonstrates bound agglomerates of fine secondary polymer globules for the polymer surface,which could be effective for increasing BDof the product.
