A process or apparatus for producing polyethylene with improved film thinning and handleability involves polymerizing high-pressure ethylene using an autoclave-type reactor in the presence of a polymerization initiator. The reaction zone of the reactor has at least two different temperature sections; the polymerization initiator and the ethylene are supplied to the upstream temperature section in the reaction zone and the ethylene is polymerized to generate polyethylene; unreacted ethylene and the polyethylene generated at the upstream temperature section in the reactor flow into the downstream temperature section in communication with the upstream temperature section, so that additional polyethylene is generated at the downstream temperature section. A difference (ΔT [° C.]) between a temperature (T1 [° C.]) of the temperature section positioned upstream and a temperature (T2 [° C.]) of the temperature section positioned downstream in the reaction zone that receives the polymerization initiator and is in the autoclave-type reactor is 2.1° C. to 8.4° C.

The present application is directed to methods for solvent-free preparation of polymers and their subsequent processing into activated carbon materials. These methods unexpectedly demonstrate ability to tune pore structure in the polymer gel and carbon produced there from, while also providing distinct advantages over the current art.

Processes for reducing shutdown time of a sub-system/ reactor component in an LDPE process. The process includes closing one or more pairs of upstream lock-out valves, each pair of upstream lock-out valves being located in an inlet stream upstream of the reactor component and configured to cease fluid flow into the reactor component through said inlet stream when said pair of upstream lock-out valves is closed; closing one or more pairs of downstream lock-out valves, each pair of downstream lock-out valves being located in an outlet stream downstream of the reactor component and configured to cease fluid flow out of the reactor component through said outlet stream when said pair of downstream lock-out valves is closed; depressurizing the reactor component; introducing purge gas comprising N.sub.2 into the reactor component at and withdrawing the purge gas from the reactor component.
