POLYPROPYLENE PRODUCTION: THE SPHERIPOL PROCESS


Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer produced by the combination of propylene monomer molecules in a polymerization process in the presence of a catalyst, usually Ziegler-Natta There are different ways of producing polypropylene such as Spheripol, Novolen, Innovene, Unipool, Borstar, etc. as well as the latest achievements in the field of propylene polymerization. In this research work, it is restricted to the Spheripol production process because it is an efficient and cost effective production process and it is observed that at the pre polymerizer, the reaction is conducted in a small prepoly loop reactor at the following condition, Temperature: 20 0 C Pressure: 36 kg/cm2, it has a capacity of 0.46 m3. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent research in PP and its advanced functional applications.
