Bench Scale Evaluation of Sinopec NTR-971 by Max McDaniel Summary After reaching cooperation agreements with Sinopec’s Leader catalyst company, a sample of its titanated Cr/silica catalyst, called NTR-971, was received in December of 2004. Chevron-Phillips committed to test this catalyst in the laboratory scale reactors, then if results were promising, to further test it in the Bartlesville pilot plant. This report details the results of this laboratory testing, which was completed in January 2005. NTR-971 catalyst has been tested in the CPC laboratories against CPC’s Magnapore catalyst for possible use at Maoming and other CPC plants. At low activation temperatures, 600-650°C, NTR-971 appears to be acceptable in terms of activity and melt index potential, in comparison to 963 Magnapore. In fact, the melt index potential was actually higher than Magnapore. Rheological measurements suggested that the polymer was also very similar to that produced by Magnapore. Particle size distribution was acceptable. At high activation temperatures, 700-900°C, the melt index potential of NTR-971 dropped significantly, suggesting sintering. Therefore the catalyst would not be acceptable under these conditions. In future work, Leader company should try to address this deficiency. All Magnapore based resins currently manufactured by CPC, and planned for production at Maoming, use low activation temperatures. Therefore NTR-971 would seem to be acceptable from these bench scale tests, and further pilot plant testing is recommended to confirm resin properties. Testing Results Bench scale tests that were made using two titanated Cr/silicas that have been claimed to be similar to Chevron-Phillips Company’s 963 Magnapore catalyst, manufactured by W.R. Grace. One was a catalyst from Philadelphia Quartz, CX36305MS, and the second was made by Sinopec’s Leader Catalyst Company, called NTR 971. Although NTR-971 catalyst is being tested as a 963 Magnapore equivalent, analy
