Abstract:
A polyethylene production method and apparatus which utilizes laser energy applied to a reaction chamber containing ethylene gas or liquid. Particular types of lasers such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide lasers have been found to generate the precise frequencies needed to produce the required polymerization of ethylene into polyethylene. The system may utilize a pump or compressor depending upon the ethylene source. Fiber-optic cables may be included depending upon the particular manufacturing requirements.
