Abstract
Abstract A supported catalyst for the polymerization and copolymerization of olefinically unsaturated compounds is described, comprising an organometallic compound of aluminium and a second component obtained by bringing a titanium, vanadium or chromium compound, at least one compound of a second metal chosen from V, Al, Zr, Hf, Mo and Nd and optionally a magnesium compound into contact with a porous support consisting of microbeads of aerogels of one or more inorganic oxides distinguished by low density, high porosity and the fact that at least 90% of the pores have a diameter lying within a very narrow range of values. The process for the polymerization or copolymerization of olefinically unsaturated compounds based on the use of said catalyst is also described.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A supported catalyst active in the polymerization and copolymerization of olefinically unsaturated compounds, comprising an organometallic compound of aluminium and a component obtained by bringing a titanium, vanadium or chromium compound, at least one compound of a second metal chosen from V, Al, Zr, Hf, Mo and Nd and optionally a magnesium compound into contact with a porous support, characterised in that said porous support consists of microbeads of aerogels of one or more inorganic oxides, and having a surface area exceeding 300 m 2 /g, a total pore volume exceeding 1 ml/mg and at least 90% of their pores having a diameter lying within a very narrow range of values, the difference between the maximum and minimum values of which is at most 50 Å, said diameter being between 50 and 1000 Å.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
