Abstract
An apparatus for gas-phase catalytic polymerization comprising a first vertical reactor (1), a second vertical reactor (2), the upper region of said reactor (1) being connected by a connecting part (3) to a solid as separator (4), which is in turn connected to the upper region of second reactor (2), the lower region of second reactor (2) being connected to the lower region of first reactor (1) by a connecting part (5), the solid/gas separator (4) being connected through a recycle line (6) to one or more points of reintroduction into connecting part (5) or into reactor (1), the apparatus having a line (12) for feeding catalyst into reactor (1), a polymer discharge system (11) from reactor (2), a line (13) for feeding monomers, the apparatus being further characterized in that it comprises a line (15) for feeding gas or liquid into reactor (2).
