Mathematical model and advanced control for gas-phase olefin polymerization in fluidized-bed catalytic reactors

In this study, the developments in modeling gas-phase catalyzed olefin polymerization fluidized-bed reactors (FBR) using Ziegler-Natta catalyst is presented. The modified mathematical model to account for mass and heat transfer between the solid particles and the surrounding gas in the emulsion phas...
