  • Patent number: 6228791
    Abstract: The present invention is a solid catalyst component for polymerization of olefins prepared by contacting a magnesium compound, a tetravalent halogen-containing titanium compound, a diester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, an aromatic hydrocarbon and an organic aluminum compound containing a hydroxyl group represented by the following general formula (R1CO2)mAl(OH)3-m or aluminum hydroxide. The catalyst for polymerization of olefins comprising said solid catalyst component, an organic aluminum compound represented by the general formula R2pAlQ3-p and an organic silicon compound represented by the general formula R3qSi(OR4)4-q can retard the rate of forming a polymer having a low molecular weight or a low stereoregular polymer which is soluble in a polymerization solvent in slurry polymerization and can obtain a high stereoregular polymer in a high yield, and also can obtain a copolymer having an excellent property in a high yield in the copolymerization of olefins.
