About this document
Ziegler vs. Phillips Polyethylene Processes by PARTH NAGAR is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses three main processes for producing polyethylene: slurry process, solution process, and gas phase process. The slurry process uses a continuous stirred tank reactor or loop reactor with a Ziegler-Natta or Phillips catalyst. In the Phillips process, the catalyst is very active and remains in the polymer without needing removal. This allows the polymer chains to grow inward and outward, expanding the granule. The Phillips process produces HDPE with fewer branches than the Ziegler process
