Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of the former catalyst component of a catalyst for the polymerization of olefins composed of a titanium-based catalyst component and an organo aluminium compound is disclosed. The former catalyst component can readily be produced by contacting (a) a fatty acid salt of magnesium, (b) an electron donor compound and (c) a titanium halide. In the polymerization of olefins by use of the former catalyst component, both the amount of catalyst residues in the produced polymer and halogen content therein are greatly reduced with high polymerization activity per unit weight of the former catalyst component and with high yield of stereoregular polymer.
