Abstract:
Polypropylene (PP) is a low-density, stress-resistant thermoplastic made from a propylene monomer. Measuring the amount CO in propylene is essential when trying to run a polypropylene unit. Carbon Monoxide is a potent poison of catalysts used to produce PP. Just 100ppb or higher in the feed can lead to nearly complete deactivation of the catalyst.This presentation will focus on how to effectively analyze ppb levels of CO in propylene feed.
