Abstract

A generic mathematical model for analyzing the effect of ideal and non‐ideal reactor residence time distributions on the size distribution of polymer particles produced with heterogeneous Ziegler‐Natta and supported metallocene catalysts was developed. It was shown that the residence time distribution in polymerization reactors can have a significant effect on the size distribution of polymer particles and this can lead to imperfect replication of the catalyst particle size distribution.
