A process comprising polymerizing olefin monomers and optionally comonomers in a first reactor vessel, thereby forming a raw product stream comprising polymerized solids, unreacted monomer and optionally comonomer, the polymerized solids comprising olefin polymer, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and catalyst system. Then the polymerized solids are contacted with a catalyst poison selected from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, alcohols, amines, or mixtures thereof, thereby forming a passivated stream. The passivated stream is maintained in an agitated state within a second reactor. The passivated stream within the second reactor is then contacted with a circulating gas comprising unreacted monomer for a residence time, thereby reducing the concentration of VOC in the polymerized solids by at least 10 wt % compared to the level before entering the second reactor, thereby forming a purified olefin polymer solids stream.

The invention discloses a micro-interface strengthening reaction system for preparing poly-α-olefin, which includes: a first polymerization reactor and a second polymerization reactor that are connected with each other in sequence, wherein a first micro-interface generator is disposed outside the first polymerization reactor, and a second micro-interface generator is disposed inside the second polymerization reactor. A bottom of the second polymerization reactor is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge port is connected with a hydrogen halide removal tower. By disposing the first micro-interface generator in the first polymerization reactor while disposing the second micro-interface generator in the second polymerization reactor, on the one hand it increases the mass transfer area between the gas phase and the liquid phase material, improves reaction efficiency and reduces energy consumption, and on the other hand it results in a higher evenness of the poly-α-olefin and improved product quality.
