Abstract
The present invention relates to a process of forming a polymer, the process comprising polymerizing olefin monomers to form a reaction mixture, treating the reaction mixture to form a first polymer-rich phase, treating the first polymer-rich phase to form a second polymer-rich phase, and devolatilizing the second polymer-rich phase, the process further comprising at least one step of adjusting the temperature of a first and/or the second polymer-rich phase before the devolatilization. The present invention also relates to a plant that is useful for the process provided above.
