Abstract

Abstract Catalyst is produced by first activating a chromium-containing silicon-containing support at calcination temperature, treating with a fluoride compound and thereafter heating at a lower temperature of 300° to 1000°F for about 1 to 20 hours. Catalysts thus produced are of particular utility in the production of narrow molecular weight distribution ethylene polymers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 53 words
A process for producing a catalyst comprising: calcining a chromium-containing silicon-containing support; cooling said thus calcined support and incorporating therewith a fluorine-containing compound; and thereafter heating said support containing said fluorine-containing compound at a temperature within the range of 300° to 1000°F, which temperature is lower than the temperature used for said calcining.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 53 words
A process for producing a catalyst comprising: calcining a chromium-containing silicon-containing support; cooling said thus calcined support and incorporating therewith a fluorine-containing compound; and thereafter heating said support containing said fluorine-containing compound at a temperature within the range of 300° to 1000°F, which temperature is lower than the temperature used for said calcining.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said silicon-containing support is one of silica, silica-alumina, or silica-titania.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said calcining is done at a temperature within the range of 900° to 1700°F.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said calcining is done under an atmosphere of flowing dry air.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 36 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said heating of said fluorine-containing support is done at a temperature within the range of 450° to 750°F for a time within the range of 1 to 20 hours.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 52 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein said silicon-containing support is one of silica, silica-alumina, or silica-titania, and wherein said calcining is carried out at a temperature within the range of 900° to 1700°F for a time within the range of 1/2 to 50 hours under an atmosphere of flowing dry air.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method according to claim 6 wherein said chromium containing support is formed by treating silica, silica-alumina, or silica-titania with an aqueous solution of a chromium compound.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 44 words
A method according to claim 6 wherein said fluorine containing compound is one of ammonium silicofluoride or ammonium fluoroborate and is incorporated by introducing said compound in the form of a powder to said calcined support while maintaining an atmosphere of fluidizing dry air.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
A method according to claim 6 wherein said silicon-containing support is formed by coprecipitating an alkali metal silicate and a titanium compound.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 64 words
A method according to claim 9 wherein said chromium is introduced into silicon-containing support by treating said support with a solution of a chromium compound convertible to chromium oxide on calcination and said fluorine-containing compound is incorporated by introducing a powdered anhydrous fluoride selected from ammonium silicofluoride and ammonium fluoroborate while fluidizing air from said calcining is still flowing through the cooled calcined base.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 6 words
A catalyst according to claim 1.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 6 words
A catalyst according to claim 10.
