Abstract: The present technology relates to a method of introducing a supported antistatic compound that does not comprise a transition-metal-based catalyst component for use in an olefin polymerization reactor. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein avoid the formation of polymer agglomerates in the reactor and minimize potentially negative effects on catalyst yield.

Abstract: A method for feeding an antistatic compound to a polymerization reactor, the method comprising the steps of: a) dispersing, under mixing conditions, a catalyst powder and an antistatic compound in a liquid medium, so as to form a suspension of the catalyst powder and of the antistatic compound in the liquid medium; b) transferring the obtained suspension to a polymerization reactor.

Abstract: A method for feeding an antistatic compound to a polymerization reactor comprising the steps of: a) dispersing, under mixing conditions, a catalyst powder and an antistatic compound in an oil, so as to form a suspension of catalyst powder and antistatic compound in said oil; b) successively adding, under mixing conditions, a molten thickening agent to said suspension from step a), while maintaining said suspension at a temperature such that said thickening agent solidifies on contact with said suspension; c) transferring the product obtained from b) to a polymerization reactor.

Abstract: Catalyst component for the polymerization of olefins comprising Mg, Ti, halogen and an electron donor is obtained by a batch process comprising: (A) A first step comprising reacting an adduct of formula MgCl2(ROH)n, where R is a C1-C10 alkyl group, and n is from 0.5 to 6, in a liquid medium comprising a titanium compound having at least a Ti—Cl bond at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to 80° C. and then removing the liquid medium; (B) A subsequent step comprising reacting the solid product obtained in (A) in a liquid medium comprising an electron donor ED selected from ethers, esters, ketones, silanes, amines, nitriles and amides, and a titanium compound having at least a Ti—Cl bond at a temperature higher than 80° C. and then, after removing the liquid medium; (C) A subsequent step comprising reacting the solid product coming from (B) with a liquid medium comprising a titanium compound having at least a Ti—Cl bond at a temperature higher than 80° C.
