Abstract The invention relates to a solid catalyst component (A-1) of a catalyst for use in the polymerization of at least one olefin and comprising (a-1) a particulate carrier composed of a specific oxide of a metal, and supported on the carrier, (a-2) an organoaluminum oxy compound and (a-3) a specific transition metal compound containing a specific ligand. The catalyst component can be used, optionally in conjunction with an organoaluminum compound, in the suspension polymerization or vapor phase polymerization of at least one olefin to provide spherical olefin polymers having excellent particle characteristics at high polymerization activity.
A solid component [A-1] of a catalyst for use in the polymerization of at least one olefin, which catalyst component comprises; (a-1) a particulate carrier which is (i) composed of an oxide of at least one element belonging to Group II, II or IV of the Periodic Table, (ii) contains less than 1.0% by weight of water and (iii) comprises at least 1.0% by weight of surface hydroxyl groups, and supported on said particulate carrier (a-1); (a-2) an organoaluminum oxy compound, and (a-3) at least one compound of a transition metal of Group IV B of the Periodic Table containing a ligand having a cyclopentadienyl skeleton.
