How is high-density polythene (HDP) typically produced?
Options
- ABy heating ethene at high pressure and low temperature
- BBy polymerization of ethene in the presence of a peroxide catalyst
- CBy polymerization of ethene in a hydrocarbon solvent with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst
- DBy polymerization of ethene using UV radiation
Correct answer
C. By polymerization of ethene in a hydrocarbon solvent with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst
Step-by-step solution
High-density polythene (HDP) is typically produced by polymerization of ethene in a hydrocarbon solvent with the use of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
