Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a catalyst system and process for the polymerization of 1-alkenes or the copolymerization of 1-alkenes with each other or with ethylene, wherein use is made of a catalyst system that contains a titanium halogenide component on an at least virtually anhydrous magnesium halogenide support and an organoaluminum component containing a complex of an organic aluminum compound with an ester of an oxygen-containing organic acid characterized in that the support used is a magnesium halogenide that is also at least virtually free of magnesium oxide and which has been prepared by heating a magnesium halogenide containing water and/or magnesium oxide in a gaseous flow of carbon halogenide vapor and/or a mixture of carbon monoxide and a halogen. The process according to the invention offers a high polymer yield per gram of Ti compound used and with very high contents of isotactic polymer.
