Summary
-
1.
When the contact of 83% propene with the catalyst is prolonged, the polymerizate formed contains polyolefins, cycloolefins, and cyclodiolefins, instead of olefins.
-
2.
With further increase in the time of contact, attained by dilution of propene with an equal amount of propane, up to 30% of aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, cumene) is formed, i.e., the polymerization reaction passes into a dehydrocyclopolymerization reaction.
