Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
IN A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE BY POLYMERIZING ETHYLENE AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN 1,000 AND 4,000 ATMOSPHERES, SEPARATING THE POLYETHYLENE FROM THE UNREACTED ETHYLENE, AND RECYCLING THE UNREACTGED ETHYLENE AFTER SEPARATION FROM THE POLYETHYLENE, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES WASHING 25% TO 100% BY WEIGHT OF THE RECYCLED ETHYLENE CONTAINING UP TO 0.5% BY WEIGHT OF IMPURITIES COMPRISING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYMERS OF ETHYLENE WITH MOLECULAR WEIGHTS OF LESS THAN 1000, 2-ETHYL-BUTANE-(1), KETONES AND ALDEHYDES AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN 20 AND 50 ATMOSPHERES WITH LIQUID ETHYLENE AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN -25*C. AND 0*C. AND THEREBY REMOVING FROM THE RECYCLED ETHYLENE
