Antonova UDC 66.021.3.06 The mechanism of the process of polymerization of butadiene on a cobalt catalyst is investigated by comparing two mathematical models. Experimental data and results of calculations according to the proposed kinetic schemes of the process are compared. Kazan State Technological University, Kazan, Russia; email: a_gusel@mail.ru.
