Abstract

Abstract A method for the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylene comprising polymerizing the ethylene at a pressure greater than 500 bars, at a temperature in the range 160° to 280°C and under conditions in which polymerization takes place in a single liquid phase, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising A. an alkylsiloxalane derivative of the formula, ##EQU1## and B. a halogenated titanium compound of the titanium trichloride type, the Al/Ti ratio between the constituents being between 1 and 10.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
A method for the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylene comprising polymerizing the ethylene at a pressure greater than 500 bars, at a temperature within the range from 160° to 280°C and under conditions in which polymerization takes place in a single liquid phase, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising A. an alkylsiloxalane derivative of the formula: ##EQU10## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon radicals having from one to ten carbon atoms, and R 5 is ##EQU11## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; the Si:Al ratio in the alkyl siloxalane being within the range from one to three; and B. a titanium trichloride; the constituents A and B being taken in amounts to give an Al/Ti ratio between 1 and 10.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 156 words
A method for the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylene comprising polymerizing the ethylene at a pressure greater than 500 bars, at a temperature within the range from 160° to 280°C and under conditions in which polymerization takes place in a single liquid phase, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising A. an alkylsiloxalane derivative of the formula: ##EQU10## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon radicals having from one to ten carbon atoms, and R 5 is ##EQU11## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; the Si:Al ratio in the alkyl siloxalane being within the range from one to three; and B. a titanium trichloride; the constituents A and B being taken in amounts to give an Al/Ti ratio between 1 and 10.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the Al/Ti ratio is between 1 and 5.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
Method according to claim 1, characterised in that the residence time of the catalyst in the polymerisation reactor is between 1 and 100 seconds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
Method according to claim 1 in which the titanium trichloride is of the α-, β-, γ-, or δ- form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 17 words
Method according to claim 1, in which the titanium trichloride contains aluminum trichloride in a cocrystallised form.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
Method according to claim 1, in which the titanium trichloride contains TiCl 2 --AlCl 3 .
