Abstract

Abstract A catalyst component for alpha olefine-polymerizing catalysts which comprise an organo-aluminum compound, an external electron donor, and a solid catalyst component obtained when a solid carrier component containing magnesium has reacted with a titanium halide compound, in addition to a procedure for manufacturing the same. The catalyst component is produced by reacting a solid carrier component with a titanium halide compound with or without the presence of an internal electron donor. The solid carrier component is prepared by (a) dissolving a natural or synthetic mineral containing magnesium and aluminum in hydrochloric acid, (b) evaporating the solution until dry, (c) calcinating the obtained salt mixture from the evaporated solution by heating the same at a temperature of about 130°-150° C. to convert the aluminum component into hydroxy form, (d) dissolving the magnesium component in ethanol, (e) drying the ethanol solution of the magnesium component with the aid of periodic azeotropic distillation, and (f) precipitating the solid carrier component from the ethanol solution.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 135 words
Method for manufacturing a catalyst component for alpha olefine polymerising catalysts comprising an organo-aluminum compound, an external electron donor said component which comprises (a) dissolving a natural or synthetic mineral containing magnesium and aluminum in hydrochloric acid, to form a solution, (b) evaporating the thus-formed solution until dry to form a salt mixture, (c) calcinating the thus-obtained salt mixture by heating the same at a temperature of about 130°-°150° C. in order to convert the aluminum component into hydroxy form, (d) dissolving the magnesium component in ethanol to form a solution, (e) subjecting the thus-obtained ethanolic solution of the magnesium component to azeotropic distillation, to remove crystallized water therefrom, and (f) precipitating the magnesium component from the ethanol solution, thereby forming said catalyst component, and (g) reacting the thus-precipitated magnesium component with a titanium halide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 135 words
Method for manufacturing a catalyst component for alpha olefine polymerising catalysts comprising an organo-aluminum compound, an external electron donor said component which comprises (a) dissolving a natural or synthetic mineral containing magnesium and aluminum in hydrochloric acid, to form a solution, (b) evaporating the thus-formed solution until dry to form a salt mixture, (c) calcinating the thus-obtained salt mixture by heating the same at a temperature of about 130°-°150° C. in order to convert the aluminum component into hydroxy form, (d) dissolving the magnesium component in ethanol to form a solution, (e) subjecting the thus-obtained ethanolic solution of the magnesium component to azeotropic distillation, to remove crystallized water therefrom, and (f) precipitating the magnesium component from the ethanol solution, thereby forming said catalyst component, and (g) reacting the thus-precipitated magnesium component with a titanium halide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (g) the thus-precipitated magnesium component is reacted with the titanium halide in the presence of an internal electron donor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (a) the mineral containing magnesium and aluminum is hydrotalsite.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (c) after evaporating (b) the hydrochloric acid solution, the salt mixture is calcinated for about one to five hours.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 52 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (a) the mineral containing magnesium and aluminum is dissolved in hydrochloric acid by (a 1 ) suspending the mineral in water, and (a 2 ) adding to the thus-produced acqueous suspension, hydrochloric acid in a quantity such that the pH drops to pH of about 1-2.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 10, wherein (e) about 1-15 runs of the azeotropic distillation are carried out.
