DILUTE PROCESS FOR THE POLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE/ALPHA-OLEFIN COPOLYMER USING METALLOCENE CATALYST SYSTEMS

摘要

An improved process for the copolymerization ofethylene and .alpha.-olefins utilizing highly dilute .alpha.-olefinfeedstreams to effect high conversions and catalystproductivities. The instant invention is particularlyadaptable to copolymerizing the .alpha.-olefin content ofcommercially available refinery feedstreams such asRaffinate-II.
