  • Publication number: 20230110235
    Abstract: A supported metallocene catalyst can include a silica-based carrier and an aluminum alkyl halide, a cocatalyst compound, and a metallocene compound supported in the silica-based carrier. The aluminum alkyl halide is supported at higher rate on the surface of the silica-based carrier than inside the pores, and the cocatalyst compound is supported at higher rate inside the pores of the silica-based carrier than on the surface of the silica-based carrier. Such a supported metallocene catalyst can be prepared by: (i) supporting an aluminum alkyl halide in a silica-based carrier; (ii) supporting a cocatalyst compound in the silica-based carrier in which the aluminum alkyl halide is supported; and (iii) supporting a metallocene compound in the carrier in which the aluminum alkyl halide and the cocatalyst compound are supported. Such a supported metallocene catalyst can be used to polymerize polyolefins with excellent activity and polyolefin with a uniform powder morphology.
