Abstract

Abstract Aluminum-containing compositions for use particularly as olefin polymerization or copolymerization cocatalysts are produced by reaction of trialkylaluminums or dialkylaluminum hydrides with 1,3- or 1,4-pentadiene at a mole ratio of aluminum compound to pentadiene of approximately 1:1, with removal during the reaction of evolved olefin.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A supported titanium-containing olefin polymerization catalyst comprising, as a cocatalyst component, a composition formed by reacting a trialkylaluminum or a dialkylaluminum hydride, in which the alkyl groups each contain 2 to 4 carbon atoms, with a diolefin selected from the group consisting of 1,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, at a molar ratio of aluminum compound to diolefin of approximately 1:1, at a temperature of from about 85° C. to about 150° C., while removing evolved olefin during the reaction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 77 words
A supported titanium-containing olefin polymerization catalyst comprising, as a cocatalyst component, a composition formed by reacting a trialkylaluminum or a dialkylaluminum hydride, in which the alkyl groups each contain 2 to 4 carbon atoms, with a diolefin selected from the group consisting of 1,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, at a molar ratio of aluminum compound to diolefin of approximately 1:1, at a temperature of from about 85° C. to about 150° C., while removing evolved olefin during the reaction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
An olefin polymerization or copolymerization catalytic system according to claim 1 further comprising a trialkylaluminum compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
A catalyst as claimed in claim 1 wherein the diolefin is 1,3-pentadiene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 12 words

Dependent Claim 13 words
A catalyst as claimed in claim 3 wherein a dialkylaluminum hydride is reacted.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 12 words
A catalyst as claimed in claim 4 wherein a trialkylaluminum is reacted.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 13 words
A catalyst as claimed in claim 4 wherein a dialkylaluminum hydride is reacted.
