IN A METHOD FOR THE ORGANIC DILUENT POLYMERIZATION OF AN ALPHA OLEFIN IN THE PRESENCE OF A POLYMERIZATION CATALYST COMPRISING AN ALUMINUM ALKYL AND A TITANIUM HALIDE TO PREPARE A NORMALLY SOLID POLYMERIZED ALPHA OLEFIN, WHEREIN A REACTION MIXTURE IS OBTAINED COMPRISING SAID DILUENT, SAID CATALYST AND AN ASH-CONTAIING, NORMALLY SOLID POLYMERIZED ALPHA OLEFIN, THE IMPROVED METHOD FOR RECOVERING SAID NORMALLY SOLID POLYMERIZED ALPHA OLEFIN WHILE REDUCING THE ASH CONTENT THEREOF WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF TREATING SAID REACTION MIXTURE WITH HYDROGEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 10 HOURS UNDER TREATING CONDITIONS INCLUDING FROM ABOUT 5 TO ABOUT 50 ATMOSPHERES OF HYDROGEN AND A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 5* TO ABOUT 20*C. BELOW THE SOFTENING POINT OF SAID POLYMER ADDING A LIQUID ALCOHOL WASH COMPOUND TO SAID THUS-TREATED REACTION MIXTURE AND THEREAFTER RECOVERING SAID POLYMERIZED ALPHA OLEFIN.
