Low pressure Zeigler process of polythene manufacture____________________?

Correct answer: B. Achieves an yield of 95-98% based on ethylene

  • A. Employs a pressure of 30 kgf/cm2
  • B. Achieves an yield of 95-98% based on ethylene
  • C. Produces very low density polythene
  • D. Does not use any catalyst for polymerisation

Explanation

The low-pressure Ziegler process uses a catalyst and converts ethylene with a high yield, commonly about 95 to 98 percent. It produces high-density, not very-low-density, polyethylene, so option c is incorrect.
