Abstract
Abstract A supported catalyst for the polymerization and copolymerization of ethylene which comprises a reduced tetravalent titanium compound, an aluminum alkyl and a substituted polystyrene resin support. After treatment of the polymer with magnesium salts, either the titanium component or the aluminum component is prereacted with the substituent groups of the polystyrene resin which are selected from the group consisting of hydroxymethyl, chloromethyl, and sulphonate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A supported polymerization catalyst for the polymerization and copolymerization of ethylene which comprises: (1) a reduced tetravalent titanium compound, (2) an aluminum alkyl of the formula ##STR4## where X and Y are each alkyl of not more than 8 carbon atoms, and Z is chlorine or alkyl of not more than 8 carbon atoms, and (3) a polystyrene resin which is substituted on the phenyl rings thereof wherein the substituent groups are selected from the group consisting of hydroxymethyl, chloromethyl, and sulphonate, and wherein the resin is modified by treatment with magnesium salts prior to treatment with the titanium compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A supported polymerization catalyst for the polymerization and copolymerization of ethylene which comprises: (1) a reduced tetravalent titanium compound, (2) an aluminum alkyl of the formula ##STR4## where X and Y are each alkyl of not more than 8 carbon atoms, and Z is chlorine or alkyl of not more than 8 carbon atoms, and (3) a polystyrene resin which is substituted on the phenyl rings thereof wherein the substituent groups are selected from the group consisting of hydroxymethyl, chloromethyl, and sulphonate, and wherein the resin is modified by treatment with magnesium salts prior to treatment with the titanium compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein either the titanium compound or the aluminum alkyl has been prereacted with the polystyrene support material prior to the addition of the other component.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the titanium compound is titanium tetrachloride.
