AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies result in high levels of light components entrained in polymer powders, leading to a composition in the subsequent gas-phase copolymerization stage that does not meet the requirements for high-performance polypropylene products, thus affecting product performance. Furthermore, existing equipment and processes are complex and costly.
Polymer powder containing entrained light components and gaseous propylene are introduced into a gas-solid separator equipped with a gas phase outlet. The entrained light components are discharged through the gaseous propylene. The polymer powder stays in the gas-solid separator for 0.5-20 minutes, followed by copolymerization reaction of propylene and α-olefin to prepare impact-resistant polypropylene.
It effectively reduces the entrainment of light components into downstream reactions, improves polymer product performance, simplifies equipment modification, and reduces process complexity and cost.
