Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
In a process for the preparation of a crystalline polyolefin by polymerization of at least one Alpha -olefin of the formula CH2 CH-R, wherein R represents an aliphatic radical having one to four carbon atoms, in suspension or in the gas phase, at a temperature of from 20* to 130*C. and a pressure of from 1 to 50 kg/cm2, the improvement which comprises carrying out the polymerization in the presence of a mixed catalyst prepared from a. a halogen compound of trivalent titanium (component A) b. a halogen-free organo-aluminum compound (component B) and c. a cyclic dipeptide derivative of the formula
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
In a process for the preparation of a crystalline polyolefin by polymerization of at least one Alpha -olefin of the formula CH2 CH-R, wherein R represents an aliphatic radical having one to four carbon atoms, in suspension or in the gas phase, at a temperature of from 20* to 130*C. and a pressure of from 1 to 50 kg/cm2, the improvement which comprises carrying out the polymerization in the presence of a mixed catalyst prepared from a. a halogen compound of trivalent titanium (component A) b. a halogen-free organo-aluminum compound (component B) and c. a cyclic dipeptide derivative of the formula
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 99 words
IN A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARING OF A CRYSTALLINE POLYOLEFIN BY POLYMERIZATION OF AT LEAST ONE A-OLEFIN OF THE FORMULA CH2=CH-R, WHEREIN R REPRESENTTS AN ALIPHATIC RADICAL HAVING ONE TO FOUR CARBON ATOMS, IN SUSPENSION OR IN THE GAS PHASE, AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 20* TO 130*C. AND A PRESSURE OF FROM 1 TO 50 KG/CM2, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES CARRYING OUT THE POLYMERIZATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A MIXED CATALYST PREPARED FROM A. A HALOGEN COMPOUND OF TRIVALENT TITANIUM (COMPONENT A) B. A HALOGEN-FREE ORGANO-ALUMINUM COMPOUND (COMPONENT b) AND C. A CYCLIC DIPEPTIDE DERIVATIVE OF THE FORMULA
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 99 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim 101 words
In a process for the preparation of a crystalline polyolefin by polymerization of at least one Alpha -olefin of the formula CH2 CH-R, wherein R represents an aliphatic radical having one to four carbon atoms, in suspension or in the gas phase, at a temperature of from 20* to 130*C. and a pressure of from 1 to 50 kg/cm2, the improvement which comprises carrying out the polymerization in the presence of a mixed catalyst prepared from a. a halogen compound of trivalent titanium (component A) b. a halogen-free organo-aluminum compound (component B) and c. a cyclic dipeptide derivative of the formula
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 32 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the monomers are introduced at the same time into the polymerization, and from 0.5 to 6 percent by weight of ethylene is additionally used.
