Abstract
Abstract The present invention discloses improved catalysts for polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins and a process for the production of polyolefins comprising a polymerization or copolymerization of olefins by the use of said catalysts. According to the invention there is provided a process for the production of polyolefins by polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins using as the catalyst a solid component containing a titanium compound and/or a vanadium compound and an organometallic compound, said solid component comprising a substance obtained by co-pulverizing (1) a metal halide selected from the group consisting of magnesium halides and manganese halides, (2) a compound represented by the general formula B(OR) n X 3-n X3 in which n is a number of the range 0<n≦3, X represents a halogen atom and R is a hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and may be alike or different and (3) a titanium compound and/or a vanadium compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
258 words
Process for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of solvent to provide solid particles of polyethylene present in said solvent, said polymerization being carried out in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of a solid component containing a titanium compound and/or a vanadium compound and an organometallic compound selected from the group consisting of organoaluminum compounds and organozinc compounds, said solid component being obtained by copulverizing (1) a metal halide selected from the group consisting of magnesium chloride, magnesium bromide, magnesium iodide and manganese chloride, (2) an organoboron compound selected from the group consisting of B(OCH 3 ) 3 , B(OC 2 H 5 ) 3 , B(On--C 3 H 7 ) 3 , B(Oi--C 3 H 7 ) 3 , B(On--C 4 H 9 ) 3 , B(Ot--C 4 H 9 ) 3 , B(OC 6 H 5 ) 3 , B(OCH 3 ) 2 Cl, B(OC 2 H 5 ) 2 Cl, B(Oi--C 3 H 7 ) 2 Cl and B(Ot--C 4 H 9 ) 2 Cl, the ratio of the metal halide to the organoboron compound being in the range from 1:0.5 to 1:0.1, and (3) a titanium compound and/or a vanadium compound, the copulverization of the metal halide, organoboron compound and titanium compound and/or vanadium compound being carried out at a temperature between 0° C. and 200°C. for a period from 0.5 to 50 hours in an inert gas atmosphere, and the titanium and/or vanadium content in the resulting solid being in the range of from 0.5 to 20 percent by weight.
