Abstract
Abstract Polymerization of olefins in the presence of a catalyst system comprising titanium-coating component (A) associated with a milled blend of at least two different silica-containing components having different MI (polymer melt index) potentials and a dihydrocarbylmagnesium compound, and a cocatalyst component (B) comprising an organoaluminum compound. Ethylene polymers having broad molecular weight distribution are obtained using the catalyst defined herein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A method of producing a polymerization catalyst which comprises forming a component (A) by: (1) contacting a first silica activated by calcining at a temperature in the range of about 600° to 900° C. and having a pore volume ranging from 1.5 to about 3 cc/g and surface area ranging from about 100 to about 300 m 2 /g with dialkylmagnesium and TiCl 4 , (2) contacting a second silica activated by calcining at a temperature of about 100° to about 500° C. and having a pore volume of from about 0.3 to about 1 cc/g and a surface area ranging from about 400 to about 900 m 2 /g with dialkylmagnesium and TiCl 4 , (3) blending about equal amounts of said first and second silicas and subjecting the resulting blend to milling to form component (A), and (4) combining component (A) formed in step (3) with a cocatalyst component (B) comprising trialkylaluminum.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
