Abstract

Abstract Olefin polymerization is conducted using a catalyst system comprising an organo-aluminum compound and a solid catalyst product prepared by reacting an organo-tin compound of the formula SnR3Y wherein R is a hydrocarbon group having 1-14 carbon atoms and Y is a halogen or alkoxy, and a halide of a Group III element of the Periodic Table, with quadrivalent titanium compound, quadrivalent vanadium compound, pentavalent vanadium compound, or a mixture or reaction product thereof. In one embodiment, the reaction may be conducted in the presence of a titanium compound having a valency of lower than quadrivalent or a vanadium compound having a valency of lower than quadrivalent or pentavalent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 70 words
A PROCESS FOR THE POLYERMIZATION OF AN OLEFIN WHICH COMPRISES REACTING SAID OLEFIN IN CONTACT WITH A CATALYST SYSTEM COMPRISING (A) AN ORGANIC-ALUMINUM COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA AIRNX3-N WHEREIN R REPRESENTS A HYDROCARBON GROUP OF 1-14 CARBON ATOMS; X REPRESENTS A HYDROGEN ATOM, HALOGEN ATOM OR AN ALKOXY GROUP; AND N REPRESENTS AN INTEGER OF 1-3; AND (B) A SOLID CATALYST REACTION PRODUCT OF AN ORGANO-TIN COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 70 words
A PROCESS FOR THE POLYERMIZATION OF AN OLEFIN WHICH COMPRISES REACTING SAID OLEFIN IN CONTACT WITH A CATALYST SYSTEM COMPRISING (A) AN ORGANIC-ALUMINUM COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA AIRNX3-N WHEREIN R REPRESENTS A HYDROCARBON GROUP OF 1-14 CARBON ATOMS; X REPRESENTS A HYDROGEN ATOM, HALOGEN ATOM OR AN ALKOXY GROUP; AND N REPRESENTS AN INTEGER OF 1-3; AND (B) A SOLID CATALYST REACTION PRODUCT OF AN ORGANO-TIN COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the olefin is selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, butene-1, butadiene and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the catalyst system is dispersed in an inert medium and polymerization is conducted at a temperature of from normal temperature to 250*C, under a pressure of atmospheric pressure to 100 atm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
The process of claim 1, wherein 20 - 500 molar percent of hydrogen based on the moles of olefin is supplied to the polymerization reaction system to control molecular weight distribution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 126 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said solid catalyst reaction product is formed in the presence of a solid compound prepared by reducing a vanadium compound having the formula VO(OR)3 mXm, wherein R reppresents an alkyl group, X represents a halogen atom and m represents an integer of 0 - 3 and a titanium compound having the formula Ti(OR)nX4 n, wherein R represents alkyl, X represents halogen and n represents an integer of 0 - 4 with an organo-tin compound of the formula SnR3Y, wherein R represents a hydrocarbon group of 1 - 14 carbon atoms, Y represents halogen or an alkoxy group of 1 - 14 carbon atoms and a Group III metal halide selected from the group consisting of aluminum trihalide and boron trihalide.
