Catalytic hydrocondensation of carbon monoxide with olefins and their hydropolymerization by the action of carbon monoxide and hydrogen 55. Hydropolymerization of ethylene intiated by CO on cobalt catalysts containing high-silica zeolite

Abstract

1. Pentasil high-silica zeolite-base cobalt catalysts are active in the hydropolymerization of ethylene initiated by carbon monoxide and their activity increases with decreasing zeolite modulus. 2. Aromatic compounds are formed under ethylene hydropolymerization conditions on cobalt-Pentasil catalysts. 3. A correlation was found between the activity of these cobalt catalysts in ethylene hydropolymerization and the chemisorption of carbon monoxide.
