    For the industrial manufacture of high density polyethylene, identify the process that is generally adopted out of following:

    A)  free-radical liquid phase of polymerization

    B)  free-radical gas phase polymerization

    C)  Zeigler-Natta   or   oxide   catalyzed polymerization

    D)  anionic polymerization

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    High density polythene is prepared by heating ethvlene at about 330-350 K, under a pressure of 1-2 atm in the presence of Zeigler-Natta catalyst. It has high density \[(0.97\text{ }g/c{{m}^{3}})\]and higher melting point. It is used in the manufacture of containers (buckets, tubes) and differnt housewares, pipes, etc. \[nC{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[Zeigler-Natta\,catalyst]{330-350\,K,1-2\,atm}\] \[\underset{polyethylene}{\mathop{{{(-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-)}_{n}}}}\,\]
