Abstract
Abstract Process for preparing a supported Ziegler catalyst by impregnating a magnesium-containing support material with the product of reacting a halogen-containing transition metal compound (other than a fluorine-containing compound) with an aliphatic alcohol under substantially anhydrous conditions. Preferred support materials are magnesium oxide or the product of heating magnesium chloride with silica.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A process for the production of a supported Ziegler catalyst component comprising reacting a transition metal compound which is a chloride, chloro-alkoxide or oxychloride of titanium, vanadium, or zirconium, with an aliphatic alcohol containing 1-6 carbon atoms and impregnating a magnesium oxide support material with the product of said reaction, said reaction and impregnation being carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process for the production of a supported Ziegler catalyst component comprising reacting a transition metal compound which is a chloride, chloro-alkoxide or oxychloride of titanium, vanadium, or zirconium, with an aliphatic alcohol containing 1-6 carbon atoms and impregnating a magnesium oxide support material with the product of said reaction, said reaction and impregnation being carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein said support material is magnesium oxide prepared by the thermal decomposition of magnesium hydroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein said transition metal compound has the general formula Ti(OR) n CL 4-n wherein n has any value from 0 to 3 inclusive and R is an alkyl group containing 1-6 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said transition metal compound is TiCl 4 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said aliphatic alcohol is methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or isobutanol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
65 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the quantity of halogen-containing transition metal compound employed is at least sufficient to give a transition metal concentration in the final catalyst in the range 0.5 to 15% based on the total weight of catalyst, and the quantity of aliphatic alcohol employed is in the range 0.1 to 4.0 moles per mole of halogen-containing transition metal compound employed.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process for the production of a supported Ziegler catalyst comprising impregnating a magnesium oxide support material with the product of reacting together isopropanol and titanium tetrachloride under substantially anhydrous conditions.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process for the production of a supported Ziegler catalyst comprising impregnating a magnesium oxide support material with the product of reacting together isopropanol and titanium tetrachloride under substantially anhydrous conditions.
