It varies due to the application of the polymer. For example, ethylene polymerization uses Cobalt as a catalyst. But other reactions for different final products require different catalysts, due to a difference in activation energy, and final properties desired.

Which metal is used as a catalyst in the ethylene polymerization?

cobalt


What metal is used as the catalyst metal in the ethylene polymerization?

Traditionally Ziegler-Natta catalyst (TiCl3 or TiCl4 along with aluminium based co-catalyst) was used for olefin polymerization. But in recent years a variety of other complexes containing metals like aluminium, nickel, zirconium, ruthenium, iron, cobalt, hafnium, yttrium, titanium, vanadium, etc have also been employed as catalysts for olefin polymerization.


What is two part epoxy?

The two parts are: epoxy monomer and hardener/catalyst. Upon mixing the hardener/catalyst triggers polymerization of the epoxy monomers and the adhesive sets.

What is polymerization versus catalyst?

In polymerisation a number of monomer (basic entity of polymer) get together to form a polymer.For example carbon tetra chloride joins other molecule of latter to form teflon. Catalyst catalyse(help in completion) polymerisation reaction.

What is the name of the chemical reaction which combines monomers to make polymers?

Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.


Does blue-eyes ultimate dragon need polymerization to be used?

Not necessarily. In general, it has to be Fusion Summoned, but this doesn't have to be by Polymerization, there are other fusion cards.


Is a catalyst used up in a reaction?

Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.


Can you reuse the used catalyst?

Yes. it is a part of recycling of catalyst.
