THE PROCESS FOR PREPARING A HOMOPOLYMER OF ETHYLENE WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING ETHYLENE WITH A POLYMERIZATION INITIATOR IN AN INERT, LIQUID HYDROCARBON MEDIUM AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 150* C., SAID INITIATOR CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF THE REACTION PRODUCT OBTAINED ON ADMIXING A METAL HALIDE OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF TITANIUM HALIDES AND ZIRCONIUM HALIDES, SAID HALDES BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF BROMIDES AND CHLORIDES, WITH AN ALKALI METAL AND A MEMBER OF THE CLASS CONSISTING OF HYDROCARBONS HAVING A TRIPLE BOND BETWEEN CARBON ATOMS AND HYDROCARBONS OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT HIGHER THAN ETHYLENE, HAVING AT LEAST ONE NONBENZENOID ETHYLENIC BOND, SAID ALKALI METAL BEING PRESENT IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES TO REDUCE THE METAL OF SAID METAL HALIDE TO A VALENCE STATE BELOW THREE AND SAID HYDROCARBON BEING PRESENT IN AT LEAST EQUIMOLAR QUANTITIES OF SAID ALKALI METAL, AND RECOVERING A SOLID POLYMER OF ETHYLENE.
