Determination of Optimal Reaction Temperature and Hydrogen Amount for Propylene Polymerization by a Mathematical Model

Regarding the complexity of Ziegler-Natta catalyst kinetics in polypropylene polymerization, so far, there is no adequate model to determine the best process conditions for predicting average molecular weight and dispersity as the most crucial final product properties index. Consequently, a validate...
