Japan’s Mitsui Chemicals recently used zirconium, benzene, and nitrogen to develop new high-performance catalysts that increase the average speed of synthetic resins by 12 times.
In the process of synthesizing polyethylene, the catalyst was added. At 25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere pressure, the number of reactions between ethylene was as high as 44,000 times in one second. It was 100 times more than that of the addition of the plenonic titanium catalyst and also exceeded that of the metallocene. The effect of the catalyst.
The company said that the resin synthesized with this catalyst can be used to make medical products such as infusion bags and aseptic garments, covering materials for electronic materials, and substitutes for metals and wood. At present, the company is building industrial application testing equipment to verify its actual efficiency in industrial production. Hokkaido University Professor Ichikawa Seiyu commented on this technical achievement that in general, the higher the molecular weight of the resin, the stronger its strength, heat resistance and hermeticity, but the slower the synthesis speed, Mitsui Chemicals’s New results have accelerated the speed of response. If it can be applied in industry, new technologies will have a great impact on the petrochemical industry.
