Abstract
  Herein a quenched-flow kinetic technique was applied to calculate the rate constants of 1-hexene and 1-octene oligomerization catalyzed by the Cp2ZrCl2 and Cp2HfCl2/MAO catalyst systems, and subsequently a mechanism for the higher α-olefin oligomerization reaction was proposed. The oligomerization ...  Read More

Abstract
  The aim of this study was to examine the effect of catalyst doping on the performance of MgCl2. EtOH/TiCl4 catalyst system. In this regard, a series of undoped as well as FeCl3-doped catalysts was prepared and employed in 1-hexene polymerization. A modified catalyst containing 10 wt. % of FeCl3 dopant ...  Read More

Abstract
  Primary MgCl2.3.3EtOH adduct (PCT1) was prepared by melt quenching method and then submitted into a programmed thermal dealcoholation project using a fluidized bed reactor. During thermal dealcoholation program, different MgCl2.nEtOH support samples with n= 3.0, 2.7, 2.4, and 2.1 were selected and named ...  Read More
