Abstract

Olefin polymerization is conducted with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst in which unreacted monomer is recycled to the reactor. The recycle line contains a supported nickel or nickel oxide to purify the unreacted monomer before its return to the reactor, and results in improved catalyst activity and more control over physical properties of the product.
