Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It was shown using radioactive carbon monoxide that the negligible consumption of CO under conditions of hydropolymerization of ethylene on a cobalt catalyst at 190° is not accompanied by regeneration of CO during the reaction. The carbon atoms from CO are incorporated into one of several dozen newly formed molecules.

  2. 2.

    The molar radioactivity, averaged over the fractions of hydrocarbons, varies correspondingly to the change in the molecular weight (with the exception of the C4 fraction); the possible causes of this phenomenon are discussed.

  3. 3.

    Under the conditions of hydropolymerization of ethylene with labeled carbon monoxide, the greatest radioactivity is detected inα-olefins and the corresponding saturated hydrocarbons;β-olefins have a lower molar radioactivity and are obtained primarily in the cis-form.

  4. 4.

    A small difference is observed in the distribution of carbon from CO among hydrocarbons when it is weakly or intensively consumed in the reaction.
