  • Patent number: 6521722
    Abstract: In a process for the polymerization of C2-C8-alk-1-enes by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, in which polymerization is carried out from the gas phase in at least one reaction zone at from 40 to 120° C. and pressures of from 1 to 100 bar, the pressure and temperature in the reaction zone are set so that an operating point formed by these parameters in a pressure-temperature diagram is located at from 0.2 to 5.0 bar below the dew line of the respective reaction mixture above which condensation of the C2-C8-alk-1-enes occurs.

  • Patent number: 6265339
    Abstract: A process for preparing a supported transition metal catalyst comprising a particulate organic or inorganic support material, a transition metal complex and a compound capable of forming metallocenium ions comprises the following process steps: a) contacting a solution of a compound capable of forming metallocenium ions with a second solvent in which this compound is only sparingly soluble, in the presence of the support material, b) removing at least part of the solvent from the support material and c) contacting a solution of a mixture of a compound capable of forming metallocenium ions and a transition metal complex with a second solvent in which this mixture is only sparingly soluble, in the presence of the support material obtained as described in a) and b).
