  • Patent number: 4780443
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement of the known Ziegler catalyst which comprises a combination of a titanium-containing component and an organoaluminum component, and the present invention is characterized by a specific titanium-containing component. Namely, this titanium-containing component is obtained by contacting a known titanium-containing component of the Ziegler type catalyst which comprises Ti, Mg and a halogen, with an alkoxyalkylsilane compound which is characterized in that at least one of the alkyl groups has a branched structure. This catalyst does not require a so-called external electron donor, and no reduction of the polymerization velocity caused by the use of the electron donor is entailed. When this catalyst is used, a propylene/ethylene block copolymer in which the molecular weight of the propylene/ethylene copolymer portion and/or the polyethylene portion is increased, that is, the rigidity and impact strength are increased, can be prepared.

    Abstract: A method of producing a polymerization catalyst component suitable for use in the polymerization of alpha-olefins, which method comprises forming an active component by co-comminuting an inorganic Lewis acid, a first organic electron donor, a support base selected from the group consisting of the Group IIA and IIIA salts and the salts of the multivalent metals of the first transition series with the exception of copper, and a polymerization active tri-, tetra-, or penta- valent transition metal compound of a Group IVB-VIB metal, and heating the active component in an inert hydrocarbon solvent to produce the polymerization catalyst component. The active component can be heated in the inert hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of an additional polymerization active tri-, tetra-, or penta- valent transition metal compound of a group IVB-VIB metal. In addition, a second organic electron donor may be incorporated in the active component.

  • Patent number: 4546092
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing a titanium catalyst component useful for homopolymerizing 1-alkenes and for copolymerizing 1-alkenes with each other and/or with ethylene, consisting essentially in grinding a titanium halide compound/electron-donor complex with a magnesium aluminum halide obtained by precipitation from an organic solvent.In the process the ground product is first washed with a washing liquid containing a solvent for the aluminum halide/electron-donor complex which forms during the grinding process and by preference at least one alcohol, the molar ratio between alcohol and titanium in the ground product ranging between 50:1 and 1:20, and then the washed product is exposed to a liquid titanium halide compound.With this procedure, it is possible to obtain a titanium component which imparts to the polymerization catalyst an excellent stereospecificity along with a very high activity, and with which it is possible to obtain polymers, e.g.
