Abstract

A silica-alumina-supported ziconium monohydride catalyzes the polymerization of ethylene and propylene and also, under an atmosphere of H₂, the hydrogenolytic degradation of the resulting polymeric chain. This catalyst also degrades high molecular weight commercial polyethylene and polypropylenes at 150°-190°C and under 1 atm of H₂ to a distribution of lower alkanes.
