  • Publication number: 20090270570
    Abstract: Provided is a method of commercially advantageously producing a high-quality polyolefin with high yield in a homogeneous system in the presence of a catalyst containing a transition metal compound as a main catalyst component. A method of producing a polyolefin includes polymerizing one or more substances selected from ethylene and a-olefins having 3 to 30 carbon atoms in a saturated hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst containing a catalyst component (A) composed of a transition metal compound of Group IV of the periodic table, and a catalyst component (B) composed of an organic aluminoxane, in which the component (B) is obtained by subjecting an organic aluminoxane, which is soluble in a saturated hydrocarbon solvent, to a contact treatment with an organic aluminum compound having an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms in advance in the saturated hydrocarbon solvent.

  • Patent number: 7220694
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnesium compound effective in producing olefin polymers having an increased bulk density and a narrowed particle size distribution, not lowering the stereospecificity of the polymers produced and not lowering the polymerization activity in producing the polymers, to an olefin polymerization catalyst comprising the compound, and to a method for producing such olefin polymers. The olefin polymerization catalyst comprises (A) a solid catalyst component prepared by contacting a magnesium compound having a specific particle size distribution index (P), a titanium compound and an electron donor compound with each other, (B) an organometallic compound, and (C) an electron donor. The olefin polymerization method comprises polymerizing an olefin in the presence of the catalyst to give olefin polymers.
