Abstract
A process for polymerizing olefins in a gas-phase fluidized-bed reactor comprising a reactor body (1), optionally surmounted by a disengagement chamber (2), in which fine particles entrained by the gas mixture leaving the top of the reactor are separated from the gas and recycled to the upper portion of the reactor body. Polymer is withdrawn from the reactor body (1) via at least two polymer outlets, at least one of which (15) is in the lower portion of the reactor body (1) and at least one of which (16) is in the upper portion of the reactor body at a position below the top of the fluidized bed. The invention includes apparatus for polymerizing olefins and the use of the apparatus.
