- Polyethylene such as LDPE can be prepared via free radical polymerization.
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- WO2010/081684 describes a process for the preparation of polyethylene in a high pressure reactor with at least two spatially separated initiator injection points by polymerizing ethylene and optionally further monomers in the presence of at least two different mixtures of free-radical polymerization initiators.
- the process comprises a) providing at least two different initiators as solution in a suitable solvent or in liquid state, b) mixing the initiators and optionally additional solvent in at least two static mixers and c) feeding each of the mixtures to a different initiator injection point of the high pressure reactor.
- static mixers give a desirable degree of mixing
- the structure of static mixers is rather complex, resulting in a higher cost for fabrication.
- the present invention provides a mixing device comprising:
- the mixing device according to the invention is a mixing device for making a mixture of liquid substances, preferably a mixture of liquid substances comprising initiators, additives and/or solvents for the preparation of an ethylene-based polymer.

- the pipe-in-pipe section comprises an outer pipe and an inner pipe.
- a flow of liquid substances is supplied from the supply section to the pipe-in-pipe section via the outer flow inlet provided on the outer pipe of the pipe-in-pipe section. The flow enters the annular space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, and then enters the inner pipe via the inner flow inlets.
- the outer flow inlet is provided at a lower vertical position than the inner flow inlets and is provided such that a tangential flow is generated in the annular space.
- a tangential flow is generated in the annular space.
- the inner flow inlets may be formed by two passages through a circumferential wall of the inner pipe.

- the transition from the first, vertically extending pipe section to the second, vertically extending pipe section may be achieved by a section in which the inner diameter gradually decreases (herein sometimes referred as a diameter reducer) from the first inner diameter to the second inner diameter.
