Abstract
Abstract A catalyst prepared by reacting a dihalide, such as MgCl 2 ; a titanium compound, such as a titanium tetraalkoxide; and an electron donor to form a first catalyst component; then reacting that component with an organoaluminum halide; then reacting the resulting solid with TiCl 4 ; and then reacting the solid after that step with HSiCl 3 . Also the use of the catalyst in olefin polymerization is disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A process for preparing a catalyst comprising (1) reacting (a) a metal dihalide selected from Groups IIA and IIB, (b) a transition metal compound, wherein the transition metal is selected from Groups IVB and VB transition metals and is bonded to at least one atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, said atom in turn being bonded to the carbon atom of an organic radical, and (c) at least one electron donor to form a first catalyst component; (2) reacting said first catalyst component with an organoaluminum precipitating agent selected from compounds of the general formula AlR.sub.n X.sub.3-n wherein each R is individually selected from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl radicals containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms per radical, X is halogen, an n is any number such that 1≦n≦2; then (3) reacting the resulting solid with TiCl 4 , and (4) then reacting that resulting solid with HSiCl 3 .
