How is high-density polythene (HDP) typically produced?

Options

  1. ABy heating ethene at high pressure and low temperature
  2. BBy polymerization of ethene in the presence of a peroxide catalyst
  3. CBy polymerization of ethene in a hydrocarbon solvent with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst
  4. 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.
