Annex 3 Some Hints to Help Start the Discussions 

DP 1 Using suitable terms look up methods for the production of olefins from alternative sources in the internet or in one of the encylopedias of technical/ industrial chemistry. 

DP 2 For heats of polymerization assume ca. 100 kJ per mol of ethylene or propylene (disregard finer details). Consult e.g. Section 7.2 and references given at its end for heat removal aspects. 

DP 3 Consider qualities such as Lewis-acidic and weakly coordinating with regard to the B- and Al-containing activators mentioned in Section 7.4.1. Consider also single-component catalysts. 

DP 4 Find the species responsible for the respective rate-limiting steps In which way might their concentrations depend on olefin concentrations and (if applicable) on the type of anion present
