Abstract

Abstract A process for polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins, which comprises polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins in the presence of a catalyst composed of (A) a solid titanium catalyst component obtained by reacting (i) a titanium composition composed essentially of tetravalent titanium, magnesium, halogen and an electron donor or electron donor residue selected from the group consisting of organic acid esters, alkoxy groups and aryloxy groups with (ii) an organic silicon compound having an Si-O-C bond in the molecule in the presence of (iii) an organoaluminum compound, or by first treating the titanium composition (i) with the organoaluminum compound (iii) and then reacting it with the organic silicon compound (ii), until the amount of the electron donor or electron donor residue in the titanium composition (i) decreases from that before the reaction, thus including a part of the silicon compound in the titanium composition, and; (B) an organoaluminum compound.

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 232 words
A process for polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins, which comprises polymerizing or copolymerizing olefins in the presence of a catalyst composed of (A) a solid titanium catalyst component obtained by reacting (i) a titanium composition composed essentially of tetravalent titanium, magnesium, halogen and an electron donor or electron donor residue selected from the group consisting of organic acid esters, alkoxy groups and aryloxy groups with (ii) an organic silicon compound having an Si--O--C bond in the molecule in the presence of (iii) an organoaluminum compound, until the content of the electron donor or electron donor residue in the titanium composition (i) decreases to not more than 90 mole% of that before the reaction and reaches not more than 0.6 mole per gram-atom of Ti, and also until the amount of the silicon compound contained in the titanium composition becomes 0.1 to 50 moles per gram-atom of Ti or by first treating the titanium composition (i) with the organoaluminum compound (iii) and then reacting it with the organic silicon compound (ii), until the amount of the electron donor or electron donor residue in the titanium composition (i) decreases to not more than 90 mole% of that before the reaction, and reaches not more than 0.6 mole per gram atom of Ti, thus including 0.1 to 50 moles of the silicon compound per gram-atom of Ti in the titanium composition, and; (B) an organoaluminum compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 232 words
