Abstract
In this paper, a revised version of the particle growth model (PGM) describing olefin co-polymerization with metallocene catalysts is proposed. The model is used to calculate the reaction rate of hexane-propylene co-polymerization under different operating conditions. Results are compared with experimental data obtained by calorimetric technique in order to validate the model. Good agreement between calculated and experimental results is shown.
