    Abstract: A method including operating a high impact polystyrene (HIPS) reaction system having a devolatilizer downstream of a polymerization reactor, and from which a HIPS product is obtained, and injecting an antioxidant into the HIPS reaction system prior to the devolatilizer, with the antioxidant being one or more aromatic antioxidants. A HIPS product produced by operating a HIPS reaction system to produce a HIPS product, with the HIPS reaction system including a devolatilizer downstream of a polymerization reactor, and including injecting an antioxidant into the HIPS reaction system prior to the devolatilizer, with the antioxidant being comprising one or more aromatic antioxidants. The antioxidant may comprise at least one thiol group, at least one cresol group, or both. A system for producing the HIPS product is also provided.

    Abstract: A process includes contacting a metallic acrylic salt with a polyolefin, forming a polyolefin composition. The process includes extruding the polyolefin composition, and pelletizing the extruded polyolefin composition. A production rate of pellets of the polyolefin composition may be equal to or greater than a production rate of pellets of the polyolefin prior to contact with the metallic acrylic salt without increasing extrusion pressure or motor amperes. The polyolefin composition may have a melt flow rate that is lower than the melt flow rate of the polyolefin prior to contact with the metallic acrylic salt. The metallic acrylic salt may only be contacted with the polyolefin to form the polyolefin composition during a start-up of an extruder and pelletizer.

    Abstract: A process is provided including subjecting a raw C5 stream containing C5 diolefins to extractive distillation to form C5 diolefins and a raffinate stream. The process includes subjecting the raffinate stream to dehydrogenation to form additional C5 diolefins, which are recycled to the extractive distillation. Another process includes modifying a C5 diolefin extractive distillation unit by forming a recycle loop with a C5 olefin dehydrogenation reactor. A system is provided that includes a C5 diolefin extractive distillation unit and a C5 olefin dehydrogenation reactor that are arranged in a recycle loop. A process is provided that includes subjecting a raffinate stream containing C5 olefins from an extractive distillation unit to dehydrogenation to form C5 diolefins.
