The Phillips Cr(VI)/silica catalyst, used worldwide to manufacture polyethylene, must first be reduced and alkylated to display polymerization activity. This is accomplished commercially by exposure to ethylene, in a reaction that is still uncertain

The organic products of the reaction between Cr(VI)/silica and ethylene, propene, 2-pentene, 1-hexene, or cyclohexene at temperatures between 25 and 150 °C were investigated to understand the formation of chromium sites active for polymerization. A

Upon contact with ethylene, the Phillips Cr/silica catalyst must self-alkylate before polymerization can begin. How this happens has been a mystery for over 60 years, being not only of scientific i...

Ethyl silicate oligomers were impregnated into a generic Phillips Cr/silica catalyst used commercially for ethylene polymerization. After calcination, this treatment results in a secondary deposition of silica into the original silica matrix, which c

Long-chain branch (LCB) formation was measured in polyethylene homopolymers and 1-hexene–ethylene copolymers made using a variety of metallocene and chromium catalysts while the reaction ethylene concentration was varied. Kinetic analysis of this d

More than any other parameter, the calcination process is capable of modifying the performance of the Cr/silica catalyst system (also known as Phillips-type catalysts) to generate activity and to influence the diverse active population in order to pr

The adsorption, reaction and desorption of ethylene or hexenes on Cr(VI)/SiO2 containing 1 or 3 wt.% chromium were monitored by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and mass spectrometry. Reaction of Cr(VI)/SiO2 with ethylene at a temp

The “comonomer effect” is a curious phenomenon in which the rate of ethylene polymerization is significantly enhanced by the addition of a small amount of α-olefin comonomer. The response is surprising because α-olefins incorporate into polyeth

The state of Phillips Cr/silica catalyst technology is discussed in this article, including recent advances in the science and also economic and environmental challenges to its continued viability. Although these catalysts have often been described a
