Monte Carlo Simulation of Propylene Polymerization (Ⅰ) Effects of Impurity on Propylene Polymerization

Abstract

Abstract: A comprehensive mechanism for propylene polymerization was proposed by considering the effects of main impurities in the material on propylene polymerization. According to the proposed mechanism, Monte Carlo simulation was employed to investigate the polymerization kinetics in order to determine the effects of the main impurities on the polymerization. Significant influences of the main impurities on the rate, number-average degree and controlling capability of hydrogen of the polymerization were analyzed.

Key words: Monte Carlo simulation, active impurity, propylene polymerization kinetics
