  • Patent number: 4463145
    Abstract: A titanium trichloride catalytic component and a method for homo- or co-polymerization of an .alpha.-olefin. In separating a titanium trichloride catalytic component from a solution prepared by dissolving titanium tetrachloride, an organic ether compound and an organo-aluminum compound in a solvent, the above stated solvent is a mixed solvent prepared by allowing 20.about.70% by volume of an aromatic hydrocarbon halide to be concomitant with a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or an alicyclic hydrocarbon in the presence of an olefin; the organo-aluminum compound, the titanium tetrachloride and the organic ether compound are added to the mixed solvent at a solvent temperature not exceeding 55.degree.

  • Patent number: 4315090
    Abstract: A titanium trichloride catalytic component obtained by separating it out of a solution consisting of titanium tetrachloride, an organic ether compound and an organo-aluminum compound dissolved in a solvent. The solvent is a mixture consisting of a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or an alicyclic hydrocarbon with 20 to 70% by volume of a concomitant aromatic hydrocarbon halide included therein. The organo-aluminum compound, the titanium tetrachloride and the organic ether compound is added to this mixed solvent at a solvent temperature not exceeding 55.degree. C. Following this, the solvent temperature is raised up to a value between 45.degree. and 150.degree. C. over a period of 10 minutes to 24 hours with an organic ether compound and/or titanium tetrachloride further added during this temperature raising process to obtain thereby a titanium trichloride catalytic component having average particle diameter between 10 and 1000.mu.. Then homo- or co-polymerization of .alpha.
