Abstract: A method for continuously recovering titanium tetrachloride TiCl4 from a waste liquid comprising TiCl4 and by-products, wherein said waste liquid is subjected, as a flowing liquid film, to an evaporation step for a residence time of less than 15 minutes at a temperature higher than 90° C.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of a solid catalyst component for the polymerization of olefins, the process comprising the steps of: —continuously contacting solid particles of a MgCl2.mROH adduct, wherein 0.5<m<6.0 and R is an alkyl, cicloalkyl or aryl radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, with a liquid phase comprising one or more compounds capable of reacting with the —OH groups of said adduct to obtain a slurry containing a MgCl2.nROH, wherein n is lower than m; —reacting the slurry from step a) with one or more titanium compounds of formula Ti(OR)pXq?p, wherein q=3-4 and p=0-q, X is an halogen and R is an alkyl, cicloalkyl or aryl radical having 1-18 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A process for preparing a catalyst component, comprising a Mg compound a Ti compound and an electron donor compound (ED) selected from alcohol, glycols, esters, ketones, amines, amides, nitrites, alkoxysilanes and aliphatic ethers as essential compounds, comprising two or more steps of reaction involving the use of at least one of said essential compounds as fresh reactant alone or in a mixture in which it constitutes the main component, said process being characterized by the fact that in the last of said one or more reaction steps the essential compound used as a fresh reactant is the ED compound.
