How you doing, guys? Well, I'm studying different manners of producing polypropylene, and I've found a lot of them these days. Could you tell me what do you think about it? What's the better way, and what's more profitable if you are constructing a plant, or anything else?
Depends on which polymer you want to synthesize like isotactic ar syndiotactic..... there are numerous factors which can be considered to judge a method to be best... Obviously theoretical techniques are different for industrial techniques but can be broadly classified into liquid phase synthesis and gas phase synthesis.... Do you want me tell about these methods in detail ?
Well, I think I was too vague in my question, sorry for that. But, I'm asking because of this publication I saw: http://www.slideshare.net/intratec/pr-intratec-30-july-2012 And another one about a bulk phase process. These publications talk about the process and also the economic surroundings of the polypropylene production, that's why I this question just appeared in my mind.
Hmm, I can't tell you the best way to produce that kind of material, since I don't produce it as an industrial unit. But I know that there are three traditional ways to produce polypropylene. Gas phase process, bulk process or hydrocarbon slurry. About the profitability, I'd rather take a look at which technologies some companies are already using. For example, Dow Chemical uses gas phase process, while Exxon and LyondellBassell uses bulk phase process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene I've read some news and they said that US Gulf Coast seems to be a good place for a plant, since there's a lot of chemical plants over there. I think you should search about these plants to know what method they use over there.
