Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a process for the stereoregular polymerization of alpha-olefins or mixtures thereof with ethylene, conducted in the presence of highly active and stereospecific new catalysts. The catalysts are obtained from the reaction of a particular Al-alkyl compound which is at least in part in the form of a complex and/or a substitution reaction product with an ester of an oxygenated organic or inorganic acid, with a supported component characterized by having surface area exceeding certain values or showing a particular X-rays spectrum, and obtained by contacting a Ti halogenated compound, preferably in the form of a complex with an electron-donor compound, with a support comprising a Mg or Mn bihalide in an activated condition. In the catalysts the ratio between the Ti compound, expressed in Ti g-atoms, and the g moles of the ester and the electron-donor compound, when present, is lower than 0.3.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 224 words
Process for the stereoregular polymerization of alpha-olefins of the formula CH 2 ═CHR wherein R is an alkyl radical having 1-6 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof with ethylene, which process comprises polymerizing the olefins in contact with a catalyst the starting catalyst-forming components of which comprise: (a) an addition reaction product of an electron-donor compound (or Lewis base) selected from the group consisting of esters of silicic acid with an Al-trialkyl compound or with an Al-alkyl compound containing two or more Al atoms linked together through an oxygen or a nitrogen atom, the amount of Al-alkyl compound contained in a combined form with the ester in catalyst-forming component (a) being from 0.05 to 1.0 mole per mole of the starting Al-compound; and (b) the product obtained by contacting a Ti compound selected from the group consisting of halogenated bi-, tri-, and tetravalent Ti compounds and complexes of said Ti compounds with an electron-donor compound, with a support which comprises, as the essential support material thereof, an anhydrous bihalide of Mg or Mn in an active state such that the X-rays powder spectrum of component (b) does not show the most intense diffraction lines as they appear in the X-rays powder spectrum of normal, nonactivated Mg or Mn bihalide, the X-rays powder spectrum of component (b) showing a broadening of said most intense diffraction lines.
